it is your responsibility

[] To contact a qualified electrical installer.

[] To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in

conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA

70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power supply

connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved

in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,

Quincy, MA 02269.

[] To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt,

60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt

electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a

separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A

time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect

to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the

neutral or grounding circuit.

[] Do not use an extension cord.

[] If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the

ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of

electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions

provided for it here.

[] This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire

electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is

permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)

within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical

supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be

removed from the external ground connector (green screw),

and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire)

of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is

secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the

terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral

conductor.

[] If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral

ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire

connection" section.

[] A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the

appliance is installed in a location where grounding through

the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the

neutral 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.

if using a power supply cord:

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with

clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

[] A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt

minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at

least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer

must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned

ends.

[] A UL listed strain relief.

If your ouUet looks like this:

4-wirereceptacle

(14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with

ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain

relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least

4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge

copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of

NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground

conductor) may be either green or bare. The

neutral conductor must be identified by a

white cover.

If your ouUet looks like this:

3-wire receptacle

(10-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with

ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief.

The 3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22

m) long, must have three 10-gauge copper wires

and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type

10-30R.
