Electrical Requirements for Electric
Models Only
WARNING
To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury,
or death, the wiring and grounding must conform
to the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and all applicable local
regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician
to check your home’s wiring and fuses to ensure
that your home has adequate electrical power to
operate the dryer.
•
This dryer must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected
to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead
on the dryer. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• The dryer has its own terminal block that must
be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz,
single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the
circuit must be fused on both sides of the
line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER
SHOULD BE OF THE MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE
LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT
CONNECT THE DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-
VOLT CIRCUIT. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in fire, explosion, or death.
• If the branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m)
or less in length, use UL (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No. 10 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. If
over 15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No. 8 AWG
wire (copper wire only), or as required by local
codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the
dryer can be moved from its normal location
when necessary. Failure to do so may result in
fire, explosion, or death.
•
The power cord (pigtail) connection between
the wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block
IS NOT supplied with the dryer. Type of pigtail
and gauge of wire must conform to local codes
and with instructions on the following pages.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well
as all new construction after January 1, 1996.
A 4-wire connection must be used where local
codes do not permit grounding through the
neutral wire. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• Do not modify the plug and internal wire provided
with the dryer.
• The dryer should be connected to a 4-hole outlet.
• If the plug does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet will
need to be installed by a qualified electrician.
Special Electrical Requirements for
Mobile or Manufactured Homes
•
Any installation in a manufactured or mobile
home must comply with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 or Standard CAN/ CSA Z240 MH and
local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain
whether your proposed installation will comply with
these standards, please contact a service and
installation professional for assistance.
•
A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well
as all new construction after January 1, 1996.
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the
floor.
•
The electrical connection for an electric dryer must
be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information
concerning the electrical connection is provided in
the Connecting Electric Dryers section.
• To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the dryer
must be vented to the outside.
•
DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured
home or mobile home.
•
Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using
the back, left, right, or bottom panel.
• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the
back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not
be vented to the outside using the right side panel
because of the burner housing.
• The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely to
the manufactured or mobile home structure, and
the exhaust duct must be made of a material that
will resist fire and combustion. It is recommended
that you use a rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal
duct.
• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any
other duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.
• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to
outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. The
opening for outside fresh air must be at least 25 sq.
in (163 cm
2
).
• It is important that the clearance of the duct from
any combustible construction be at least 2 inches
(5 cm), and when venting the dryer to the outdoors,
the dryer should be installed with a clearance of at
least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and back of the
dryer.
•
Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer.
You must obtain the venting materials necessary
for proper installation.
