Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

Warning: Improper connection 01 the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.

1. A three-wire smgle phase

120/240 volt 60Hz AC only electrica supply (or three-wire 120/206 volt if specified on nameplate) is required on a separate 30 ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line (time delay fuse or clrcult breaker is recommended). Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

2. This washer/dryer IS equipped with a 30 amp rated flexible type power supply cord (plglail). Where local codes permit, It must be plugged into a mating

30 amp receptacle (l&mR)

-

(NEMA type lo-30R). 3-wire

See Figure 1. receptacle

3. IF THE

&

POWER SUPPLY CORD Figure’

IS REMOVED, THE WASHER/

DRYER MUST BE CONNECTED

WITH 10 GAUGE COPPER WIRE

ONLY. Aluminum wire must not be used at the washer/dryer appliance terminal block, to avotd potentially unsatisfactory connections.

I

4NEL A

See Panel F. Alternate Electrical

Connection, for detailed instructions.

4. When removing Ihe power supply cord (piglail), the appliance may be connected directly to the fused disconnecl (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non- metallic sheathed 10 gauge copper cable. It IS the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified installer lo assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1967 and local codes and ordinances.

Allow slack in Ihe line between the wall and the appliance so that it can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. A U.L. recognized strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at Ihe junction box).

Wire sizes (10 gauge COPPER

WIRE ONLY) and connection must conform with the ratino of the appliance (30 amperes): DO NOT

USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

5. CAUTION - For moblle home lnstallatlon the 3-wire power supply cord must be removed and the appliance wiring must be revised.

The appliance frame must not be connected to the neutral terminal, but must be connected to Ihe grounding wire(green) of power supply cord. See Panel G, Alternate

Electrical Connection - Mobile

FOR YOUR SAFEPY:

l

Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, furnace cold alr duct, attic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting. Accumulated lint could become a fire hazard or moisture could cause damage. l

The exhaust system should be cleaned at least every 2 years. l

Flexible duct should never be installed concealed in walls. ceiiina or floor. supply cord (pigtail) must be used.

This cord contains four No. 10 gauge copper conductors with spade or ring terminals on the washer/dryer end and terminating in a NEMA type

14.30P plug on supply end. The

Fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. Cord should be type SRD or

SRDT. with a U.L. recognized strain relief, and be at least 3 feet and no more than 6 feet long. The four wire power supply cord and strain relief are not provided with the washer/drvec
