ENGLISH CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS (cont.) USA ONLY wWARNING: • 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. Three-Wire Connection for Electric Dryers: Power Cord • A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted on new construction after January 1, 1996. • A UL-listed strain relief is required. Terminal Block UL-Listed Strain Relief • Use a 30 A, 240 V, UL-listed power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends. Hot (Black) Ground Screw Neutral (White) Hot (Red) UL-Listed 3-Wire Power Cord 1 Remove the terminal block access cover on the upper back of the dryer. Install a UL-listed strain relief into the power cord opening; then thread a UL-listed, 30 A, 240 V, 3-wire, #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor power cord through the strain relief. Ground Wire 2 Attach the two hot leads of the power cord to the outer terminal block screws. Attach the neutral wire to the center terminal block screw. Connect the external ground (if required by local codes) to the green ground screw. Tighten all screws securely. Reinstall the terminal block access cover.
