5. Review the “Electric requirements”.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the “Grounding”.
U.S. Models:
Risk Of Electric Shock - All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM
CONNECTION.
The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile
homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral conductor. If the 4-wire
system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal
block. Refer to the “Electric requirements” section on 3-WIRE or 4-WIRE SYSTEM
CONNECTIONS.
6. [GAS MODELS ONLY]
Review the “Gas requirements” section on page 11. Remove the pipe thread protective cap.
Apply a pipe joint compound or about 1 ½” wraps of teflon tape over all threaded connections.
- The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the actions of any liquefied petroleum gas.
Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4" (1.9cm)
female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8" (1cm) male threaded end on the dryer.
Securely tighten the gas line fitting over the threads.
Turn on the gas supply.
