Gas Dryer Grounding

IMPORTANT:

The dryer must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence

of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. If codes

permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended

that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path

is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269

CSA International

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical

circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this dryer be provided.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that

the ground path is adequate.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the dryer

is properly grounded.
