ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CONTINUED
GAS MODELS – U.S. and Canada
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC, approved electrical service, with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required.
ELECTRIC MODELS – U.S. Only
Most U.S. dryers, as manufactured, require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120/208 volt, 60 Hz approved
electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located on the front behind the door. A 30 ampere fuse or
circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
A 120/240 volt U.S. electric dryer must be converted if it is to operate on a 120/208 volt electrical system. A heating element conversion kit
is available.
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.
IMPORTANT: When permitted by local codes, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked
for use with clothes dryer, that is U.L. listed, rated at 120/240 volts minimum, 30 amperes 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.
If the dryer is installed in a mobile home, recreational vehicle, a new branch circuit or an area where local codes do not permit grounding
through neutral, only a 4 conductor power cord, rated and terminated as above may be used.
ELECTRIC MODELS – Canada Only
A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz 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.
NOTE: It is not permissible to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.
