ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC
DRYER:
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit
fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit
breakers. Use separately fused circuits for
washer and dryer. DO NOT operate a washer
and a dryer on the same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 120/240 volt,
single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
3-WIRE POWER SUPPLY CORD (not supplied)
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 14-30R
receptacle to be located so the power supply
cord is accessible when the dryer is in the
installed position.
GROUNDING CONNECTION - See “Grounding
requirements” in Electrical Installation section.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R
receptacle to be located so the power supply
cord is accessible when the dryer is in the
installed position.
GROUNDING CONNECTION - See “Grounding
requirements” in Electrical Installation section.
The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor power
supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated at
240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp, with 3 open
end spade lug connectors with upturned
ends or closed loop connectors and marked
for use with clothes dryers. For 3-wire cord
connection instructions see ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS FOR A 3-WIRE SYSTEM.
4-WIRE POWER SUPPLY CORD (not supplied)
The dryer MUST employ a 4-conductor
power supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT
or DRT (as required) rated at 240 volt AC
minimum, 30 amp, with 4 open end spade
lug connectors with upturned ends or closed
loop connectors and marked for use with
clothes dryers. For 4-wire cord connection
instructions see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
FOR A 4-WIRE SYSTEM.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS DRYER:
CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and
grounded 15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15
amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 2-wire, with ground, 120 volt,
single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD - The dryer is equipped
with a 120 volt 3-wire power cord.

NOTE
Because of potentially inconsistent voltage
capabilities, the use of this dryer with power
created by gas powered generators, solar
powered generators, wind powered generators
or any other generator other than the local utility
company is not recommended.
NOTE
Dryers manufactured for sale in Canada have
factory-installed, 4-wire power supply cord
(NEMA 14-30).
NOTE
A 120/208 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current supply may be used on dryers marked
for use on the rating plate.
IMPORTANT
This dryer is internally grounded to neutral un-
less it was manufactured for sale in Canada.
Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when
the appliance is installed in a location where
grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited. Grounding through the neutral link
is prohibited for: (1) new branch circuit installa-
tions, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational ve-
hicles, and (4) areas where local codes do not
permit grounding through the neutral.
