power supply cord to dryer terminal block.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
Important: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate grounding (earthing) wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the grounding (earthing) path is adequate.
A two-wire, single phase, 220-volt, 60-Hz,
AC-only, electrical supply is required on a
separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides
of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
THE DRYER MUST BE CONNECTED WITH
COPPER WIRE ONLY.
The dryer may be connected directly to the
fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through
flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed
copper cable. Allow two or three feet
(61-91 cm) of slack in the line between the wall
and the dryer so that it can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary. A conduit connector
must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the appliance and at the
junction box). Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY)
and connections must conform with the rating
of the appliance (30 amperes).
Grounding (earthing) instructions
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded (earthed) metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-grounding (earthing
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding (earthing) terminal or lead on the
appliance.
