INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 25 ENGLISH Connecting electric dryers (cont.) USA only wWarning • C onnect 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. • G rounding 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. Four-Wire Connection for Electric Dryers: Direct Wire • 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. 1. Remove 5 inches (12.7 cm) of the outer covering from the wire. Remove 5 inches of insulation from the ground wire. Cut off approximately 11⁄₂ inches (3.8 cm) from the other three wires and strip 1 inch (2.5 cm) insulation from each wire. Bend the ends of the three shorter wires into a hook shape. • Use UL-listed 4-wire #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor cable. • Allow at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) length to allow for removal and reinstallation of the dryer. 3. 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 cable to the outer terminal block screws. Attach the white neutral wire to the center terminal block screw. Attach the power cable ground wire to the green ground screw. Tighten aLl screws securely. Reinstall the terminal block access cover.

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.
Four-Wire Connection for Electric Dryers: Direct Wire
• 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.
1. Remove 5 inches (12.7 cm) of the outer covering from the wire.
Remove 5 inches of insulation from the ground wire. Cut off
approximately 1
1
⁄₂ inches (3.8 cm) from the other three wires
and strip 1 inch (2.5 cm) insulation from each wire. Bend the
ends of the three shorter wires into a hook shape.
2. 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 the power cable prepared in Step 1
through the strain relief.
• Use UL-listed
4-wire #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor
cable.
• Allow at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) length to allow for
removal and
reinstallation of the dryer.
3. 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 cable to the outer terminal block screws.
Attach the white neutral wire to the center terminal block
screw. Attach the power cable ground wire to the green ground
screw. TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS SECURELY. Reinstall the terminal
block access cover.
