explosion, or death.
The dryer has its own terminal

to a separate
240 VAC,
60=Hertz, single=phase
circuit, fused at 30
amperes
(the circuit must be fused on both

110=, 115=, OR 120=VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating
elements
are available
for field installation
in dryers which are to be connected to an
electrical service of a different voltage than
that listed on the rating plate. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
• if branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m)
or less in length, use UL (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No.=10 AWG wire
(copper wire only), or as required
by local
codes. If over 15 ft. (4.50 m}, use UL=listed
No.=8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as
required by local codes. Allow sufficient
slack in wiring so dryer can be moved from
its normal location
when necessary.
