ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the Grounding section.
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD.
Gasmodels

Dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC 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 electric model dryers.
IMPORTANT:
When local codes allow, the dryer electrical supply 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 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacle, NEMA
type 14-30 R.)
