Review the “
Electrical requirements
” section on page 19.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the “
Grounding
”
section on page 19.
U.S. MODELS:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
- All U.S. models are produced for a
3-WIRE SYSTEM
CONNECTION
.
The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
A
4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION
is required for new or remodeled construction,
mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If the 4-wire
system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at
the terminal block. Refer to the following instructions for 3 and 4-WIRE SYSTEM
CONNECTIONS.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet
near the terminal block.
A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8” (1 cm) deep well socket.
6.
Review the “
Gas requirements
” section on page 18. Remove the pipe thread protective
cap. Apply a pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Tefl on tape over all threaded
connections.
The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the actions of any liquefi ed petroleum
gas.
Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional fi tting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9
cm) female thread end of a fl exible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the
dryer.
Securely tighten the gas line fi tting over the threads.
Turn on the gas supply.
Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution.
If bubbles appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use an open fl ame to
check for gas leaks.
