Electrical installation
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe electrical installation of your
dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can
create electrical shock and/or a fire hazard
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• This appliance MUST be properly
grounded. Electrical shock can result if
the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow
the instructions in this manual for proper
grounding.
• DO NOT use an extension cord with this
dryer. Some extension cords are not
designed to withstand the amounts of
electrical current this dryer utilizes and
can melt, creating electrical shock and/or
fire hazard. Locate the dryer within reach
of the receptacle for the length power
cord to be purchased, allowing some slack
in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation
requirements in this manual for the
proper power cord to be purchased.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• A U.L.-approved strain relief must be
installed onto power cord. If the strain
relief is not attached, the cord can be
pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by
any movement of the cord, resulting in
electrical shock.
• DO NOT use an aluminum wired
receptacle with a copper wired power
cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical
reaction occurs between copper and
aluminum and can cause electrical shorts.
The proper wiring and receptacle is a
copper wired power cord with a copper
wired receptacle.

NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply
will have longer drying times than dryers
