INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3

Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) of the power cord and the appliance ground wire (white) under 
the center screw of the terminal block.

4

Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Be sure to cross the screw through the terminal ring 
and tighten the screw.

5

Tighten the strain relief screws.

6

Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into your dryer’s rear panel slot, then secure the cover with a screw.

Step 5: Level your dryer

• If your dryer is not level, carefully tilt your dryer just enough to adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of your 

dryer. Extend the feet only as much as is necessary. If the feet are extended too much, your dryer may vibrate.

Step 6: Plug in your dryer

Make sure that all exhaust and electrical connections are complete, then plug your dryer into the electrical outlet.

Step 7: Check the final installation

• Before you use your dryer, make sure that:

• Your dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and is properly grounded.
• You used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal vent material. You did not use a plastic flexible ducting.
• The exhaust duct work is hooked up and the joints are taped.
• The dryer is level and sits firmly on the floor.

• Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.
