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; then thread a UL-listed,
30A,
240V, 4-wire, #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor power cord through the
strain relief.

Transfer the dryer’s ground wire from behind
the green ground screw to the center screw
of the terminal block. Attach the two hot
leads of the power cord to the outer terminal
block screws. Attach the white neutral wire
to the center terminal block screw. Attach the
power cord ground wire to the green ground
screw. TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS SECURELY.
Reinstall the terminal block access cover.

CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS
(cont.)
Four-Wire Connection for Electric Dryers: 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, 240V, UL-listed power cord
with #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor
and closed loop or forked terminals with
upturned ends.
w
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 connected to the same color screw
in block. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a short or overload.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.

Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only
•
This dryer must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must
be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the dryer.
Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
•
The dryer 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). ELECTRICAL SERVICE
FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF THE
MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE
NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO
110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating
elements are available for field installation
in dryers which are to be connected to an
electrical service of a different voltage than
that listed on the rating plate.
Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
•
If branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m)
or less in length, use UL (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire
(copper wire only), or as required by local
codes. If over 15 ft. (4.50 m), use UL-listed
No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as
required by local codes. Allow sufficient
slack in wiring so dryer can be moved from
its normal location when necessary.
Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
•
The power cord (pigtail) connection between
wall receptacle and dryer terminal block
IS NOT supplied with dryer. Type of pigtail
and gauge of wire must conform to local
codes and with instructions on the following
pages.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
•
A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as
well as all new construction after January
1, 1996. A 4-wire connection must be used
where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral wire.
Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
Special Electrical Requirements for Mobile or Manufactured Homes
• Any installation in a manufactured or mobile
home must comply with the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standards
Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/
CSA0Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances.
•
A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well
as all new construction after January 1, 1996.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.

WARNING:
To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death, the wiring and
grounding must conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and all
applicable local regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician to check your home’s wiring and
fuses to ensure that your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.
