CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS
WARNING:
Connect the power cord to the terminal block.
Each colored wire should be connected to same
color screw. Wire color indicated on manual is con-
nected to the same color screw in block. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in a short or
overload.
Four-Wire Power Cord
A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as
well as all new construction after January 1,
1996.
A UL-listed strain relief is required.
Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power
cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor
and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned
ends.
Remove the terminal block access cover on the upper
back of the dryer.
Install a UL-listed strain relief into the power cord
through-hole.
Thread a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power
cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor
through the strain relief.
Green Wire of
Power Cord
