CONNECTING GAS DRYERS
Gas Supply Requirements
• As shipped from the factory, this dryer is con󳣜gured for use
with natural gas (NG). It can be converted for use with propane
(LP) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm) water
column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water column for LP.
• A quali󳣜ed service or gas company technician must connect
the dryer to the gas service.
Electrical Requirements for Gas Models Only
• This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz. grounded
outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker.
• This dryer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from this plug.
CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS
Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only
• 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.
• 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 VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE.
DO NOT CONNECT THE DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT
CIRCUIT.
• If the 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.
(4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as
required by local codes. Allow su󳣞cient slack in wiring so the
dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary.
• The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall
receptacle and the dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with
the dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to
local codes.
FOUR-WIRE POWER CORD
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well
as all new construction after January 1, 1996.
• A UL-listed strain relief is required.
• Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed
power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor and closed loop or forked terminals
with upturned ends.
FOUR-WIRE DIRECT WIRE
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well
as all new construction after January 1, 1996.
• A UL-listed strain relief is required.
• Use UL-listed 4-wire #10 AWG minimum
copper conductor cable. Allow at least 5
ft. (1.5 m) of wire to allow for removal and
reinstallation of the dryer.
