Installation Instructions ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS This dryer must be connected to an individual branch circuit, protected by the required timedelay fuses or circuit breakers. A three- or fourwire, single-phase, 120/240V or 120/208V, 60Hz, 30-amp circuit is required. If the electric supply does not meet the above specifications, then call a licensed electrician. NOTE: For Canadian consumers with models PCVH480 and PCVH485, cord set installation is not required. Please skip to the next section, Exhausting the Dryer. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal on the appliance. CONNECTING DRYER USING 4-WIRE CONNECTION (MUST BE USED FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION) NOTE: Since January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new constructions utilize a 4-wire connection to an electric dryer. A 4-wire cord must also be used where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. 3-wire connection is NOT for use on new construction. CONNECTING DRYER USING 4-WIRE CONNECTION (MUST BE USED FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION) (cont.) 1. Turn off the circuit breaker(s) (30 amp) or remove the dryer's circuit fuse at the electrical box. 2. Be sure the dryer cord is unplugged from the wall receptacle. 3. Remove the power cord cover located at the upper back. 4. Remove the green ground screw and attach the ground strap to the center terminal along with the (white) neutral line described below. Keep the green ground screw for Step 7. 5. Bring the power cord through the bracket. 6. Connect power cord as follows: A. Connect the 2 hot lines to the outer screws of the terminal block (marked L1 and L2). B. Connect the neutral (white) line to the center of the terminal block (marked N). 7. Attach ground wire of power cord with the green ground screw (hole above strain relief bracket). Tighten all terminal block screws (3) completely. 8. Reinstall the cover. WARNING - NEVER LEAVE THE COVER OFF OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK. Ground strap Bracket Green wire from power cord 15
