Instructions for Grounding of your Electric
Dryer:
a) Please note that the wiring diagram is provided
Inside the dryer cabinet.
b) 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.
c) The dryer has its own terminal block that must
be connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz,
single phase circuit, AC (alternating current)
circuit, fused at 30 Amperes (the circuit must be
fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL

ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT
DRYER TO 110, 115, OR 120 VOLT
