Direct Wire Method (U.S.A. Only)
Use 10 gauge copper wire.
Use a UL listed strain relief.
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center
terminal.
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected
to green ground connector.
Connect remaining 2 supply wires to remaining
2 terminals (gold).
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
Direct wire strain relief:
Unscrew the removable conduit
■
connector (A) and any screws from a
3/4" (19 mm) UL listed strain relief
(UL marking on strain relief). Put the
threaded section of the strain relief
through the hole (B) below the terminal
block opening. Reaching inside the
terminal block opening, screw the
removable conduit connector onto the
strain relief threads (C).

Direct wire cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)
and be:
Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable
■
(with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic conduit.
All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).
■
At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.

3. Install 3/4" conduit connector into the hole below the terminal
block opening. Connect flexible metallic conduit and tighten
connector screw. Install direct wire cable through the flexible
metallic conduit.
4. Complete installation following instructions for your type
of electrical connection:
• Four-wire (recommended method)
• Three-wire (if four-wire is not available)
Put direct wire cable through the strain

relief. The strain relief should have a
tight fit with the dryer cabinet and be in
a horizontal position. Tighten strain relief
screw against the direct wire cable.
