ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - ELECTRICAL DRYER
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 SERVICE FOR THE
DRYER SHOULD BE OF MAXIMUM RATE
VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO
NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115, OR 120
VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating elements are available for
field installation in dryers which are to be conected to
electrical service of different voltage than that listed
on nameplate, such as 208 Volt.
If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m) or
less in length, use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories)
listed No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as
required by local codes. If over fifteen feet (4.50 m),
use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 8
A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required by
local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so dryer
can be moved from its normal location when
necessary.
The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall
receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied
with dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must
conform to local codes and with instructions
mentioned on the following pages.
The method of wiring the dryer is optional and
subject to local code requirements. Refer to examples
on next page.

edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1, and such local
regulations as might apply. It is the
