nr!IWARNING
:
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using
this appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
• This 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 dryer. Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• The dryer has its own terminal block that must be
connected
to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-
phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes.
The circuit must
be fused on both sides of the line. ELECTRICAL
SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF THE
MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE
NAMEPLATE.
DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110-,
115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating elements
are
available
for field installation
in dryers which are to
be connected
to an electrical
service of a different
voltage than that listed on the rating plate. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• If branch
circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less in
length, use UL (Underwriters
Laboratories)
listed
No.-10 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required
by local codes. If over 15 ft. (4.50 m), use UL-listed
No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required
by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so
dryer can be moved from its normal location
when
necessary.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• The power cord (pigtail)
connection
between wall
receptacle
and dryer terminal
block IS NOT supplied
with the dryer. Type of pigtail
and gauge of wire
must conform
to local codes and with instructions
on the following
pages. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• A 4-wire connection
is required for all new
construction
after January
1, 1996. A 4-wire
connection
must be used where local codes do
not permit grounding through
the neutral wire.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
