WARNING
When local codes allow, you can connect the dryer's electrical supply with a new power supply cord kit,
marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120 / 240 volts, 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.
• Improperly connecting the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn't fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be
done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate
electrical service for your dryer.
• All gas installations must be done in accordance with the National Fuel Code ANSI/Z2231 – Latest
Revision (for the U.S.) or CAN/CGA – B149 Installation Codes – Latest Revision (for Canada) and local
codes and ordinances.
Grounding
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current.
