home must comply with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part
32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and local
codes and ordinances.
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and
manufactured home installations, as well as all new

• 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 SERVICE
FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF THE MAXIMUM
RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO
NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT

• If 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. (4.50 m), use UL-listed No.-8
AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local
codes. Allow sucient slack in wiring so dryer can
be moved from its normal location when necessary.
