The following are specifi c requirements for proper and 

safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure to follow 

these instructions can create electrical shock and/or a fi re 

hazard.

Í

Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have 

longer drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt 

power supply.

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 your 

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 fi t the outlet, have a proper 

outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

For a permanently connected dryer:
  1  The 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 appliance.

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 fi re 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.
