Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the “
” section on page
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD.
Gas models – U.S. and Canada
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required.
Electric models – U.S. only
Most U.S. dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120/208 volt, 60 Hz
approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located behind the
door. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer may be connected by means of a new power
supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of120/240 volts,
30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end
spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
•
Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be
retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
•
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2)
mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through
the neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacles, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models – Canada Only
•
A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on
both sides of the line is required.
•
All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a
30-ampere receptacle.
In Canada, you may not convert a dryer to 208 volts.
