SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirement is for a 120 volt, 60Hz, electric dryer only, 12 amps. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The
product is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a
grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in
order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it
provides no effective grounding for the dryer and may result in shock hazard.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet
near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord,
extreme care must be exercised.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH DRYERS
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 12 amps and has a third-
wire ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect the dryer, a voltage
drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less
voltage being supplied to the dryer and increases the amount of current (amp)
draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce
the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to
operate the dryer. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension
cords.
