ELECTRIC REQUIREMENTS
The wiring diagram is located on the back board of the unit.
WARNING
•
The improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it
doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
•
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal
injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 - Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or
the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 - Latest Revisions and local
codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate
electrical services for your dryer.
•
All gas installations must be done in accordance with the National
Fuel Code ANSI/Z2231 - Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or CAN/CGA
- B149 Installation Codes - Latest Revision (for Canada) and local
codes and ordinances.
Electrical connections
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is
recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Gas models - U.S. and Canada
A 120Volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15 ampere fuse or
circuit breaker is required.
Electric models - U.S. only
Most dryers require a 240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service. Some
require 208 volt, 60Hz approved electrical service. The electric service
requirements can be found on the data label located behind the door. A
30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.

If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere
receptacle.
•
The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
