Gas Dryer Grounding

IMPORTANT: The dryer must be electrically grounded in 

accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence 

of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 

latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. If codes 

permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that 

a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is 

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

National Fire Protection Association 

One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269

CSA International 

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road 

Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575

 

■

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

 

■

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

 

■

 A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical 

circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also 

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit 

serving only this dryer be provided.

 

■

This dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 

3-prong grounding plug.

 

■

 To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be plugged 

into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in 

accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet 

is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of 

the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by 

a qualified electrician.

 

■

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

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the 

ground path is adequate.

 

■

 Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the dryer is 

properly grounded.
