Electrical connections
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is
recommended.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Electric models - U.S. only
The dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service.
The electric service requirements can be found on the data label
located on the back.
A 30-amperefuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
- If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere
receptacle.
- The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer
may be connected by means of a new power supply cord
kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is UL listed and rated
at a minimum of 120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No.
10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop
terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or
with tinned leads.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The
power cord electric supply wiring must be retained at
the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited
for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile
homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where
local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacles,
NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models - Canada only
- A 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a
30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
- All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The
power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
