Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In
the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable
Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The
ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the location service panel.
NOTE: A grounding connection (terminal lug) is provided in the dryer’s electrical service/relay box at
the rear, upper left hand corner of the dryer.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (sized per local codes)
be connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to
a gas pipe or hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have metal-to-metal connection
ALL
the way to the electrical ground. If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as a meter, pump, plastic,
rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped out with no. 4 copper wire and securely
clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded. For proper
operation of the microprocessor controller (computer), an earth (zero) ground is
required.
NOTE: Grounding via metallic electrical conduit (pipe) is not recommended.
