Electrical Requirements
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A two-wire plus separate ground wire, or a 3-wire, single-phase
230-volt, 50-Hz, AC only, electrical supply is required on a
separate 15-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualied electrician to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with all local
codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
This dryer is equipped with a power supply cord. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating
wall receptacle.
If your electrical requirements are different, contact your
authorized Whirlpool service center or a qualied electrician.
