The LG 2.3 cu. ft. Capacity 24” Compact Front Load Washer w/ NFC Tag On, Model # WM1388HW has to be plugged into its own dedicated 3-prong 120 VAC, 60Hz grounded outlet, protected by a 15 Amp time delay fuse or 15 Amp circuit breaker. It's matching Dryer, the LG 4.2 cu.ft. Compact Electric Condensing Front Load Dryer, Model # DLEC888W has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line.) You can use a 3-wire receptacle (NEMA type10-30R) if your home has a 3-wire receptacle and you will need a UL listed, 120/240 volt minimum, 30 amp, dryer power supply cord, or you can use a 4-wire receptacle (NEMA type 14-30R) if your home has a 4-wire receptacle, and you will need a UL listed, 120/240 volt minimum, 30 amp, dryer power supply cord. lf your local codes or ordinances do not allow the use of a 3 wire connection, or you are installing your dryer in a mobile home, you must use a 4-wire connection. A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and manufactured home installations, as well as all new construction after January 1, 1996. If you are not sure if your electric outlet is wired properly, consult a qualified electrician or your local building inspector. Connecting the power supply incorrectly can result in product damage, fire, injury or death. Direct wiring is not permitted by code in most locations. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the installation meets all local codes...^IFV
