Installation Instructions

The following are specific requirements for proper and safe 
electrical installation of your dryer. Failure to follow these 
instructions can create electrical shock and/or a fire hazard.

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

 1 The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a 

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the 
risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for 
electrical current.

 2 After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4 wire power 

supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor 
and a grounding plug that matches you wiring system, 
the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper 
wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded 
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in 
doubt, call a licensed electrician.

 3 DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed on this 

appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician.

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

 1 The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a 

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the 
risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for 
electrical current.

 2 Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply 

cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and 
a grounding plug, the plug must be plugged into 
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and 
grounded in accordance with all local codes and 
ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.  

 3 DO NOT modify the plug provided with this appliance. If 

it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by 
a qualified electrician.

Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer 
drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt power 
supply.

•  A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto 

power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord 
can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any 
movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.

•  Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper 

wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical 
reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can 
cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle 
is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired 
receptacle.

•  This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical 

shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. 
Follow the instructions in this manual for proper 
grounding.

•  Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some 

extension cords are not designed to withstand the 
amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can 
melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate 
the dryer within reach of the receptacle for the length 
power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack in the 
cord. Refer to the pre-installation requirements in this 
manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor 
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a 
licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the 
appliance is properly grounded.
