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 fi re,
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

local codes. If over 15 ft. (4.50 m), use UL-listed No.-8
AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local

be moved from its normal location when necessary.
Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.
• The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall
