The following are additional instructions regarding electrical connections and requirements for electric dryers.

a) 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.

b) The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 60 Hertz single phase AC

circuit, fused at 30 Amperes 
(the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line).

ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON
THE NAMEPLATE.
DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115, OR 120 VOLT CIRCUIT.

c) If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m) or less in length, use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed

No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes.
If over fifteen feet (4.50 m), use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 8 A.W.G. wire (copper wire
only), or as required by local codes.
Allow sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary.

d) The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with

dryer. 
Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and with instructions mentioned on the
following pages.

e) The method of wiring the dryer is optional and subject to local code requirements. Refer to examples on

next page.

f) You must select the method by which to wire your dryer according to local code and ordinance

requirements.

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.
