Dryer Dimensions
The following are specifi c requirements for proper and safe
electrical installation of your dryer. Failure to follow these
instructions can create electrical shock and/or a fi re hazard.
Electrical installation
NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer
drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt power supply.
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.
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 fi re 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.
1 Power supply cord length on electric Canadian dryer approximately 59 inches (150 cm).
2 Power supply cord length on gas dryer approximately 67 inches (170 cm).
