Gas Dryer Grounding
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. If codes
permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended
that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground
path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association

Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
■
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
also recommended. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this dryer be provided.
■
This dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3-prong grounding plug.
■
To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the
properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
■
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
■
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
dryer is properly grounded.
