A three- or four-wire, 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. CONNECTING DRYER POWER CORD (cont.) B For 3-wire and 4-wire Connection: Install a UL-listed strain relief into the power cord entry hole beneath the terminal block. Thread a UL-listed 30A, 240V, 3-wire or 4-wire, #10 AWG minimum copper conductor power cord through the strain relief. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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 on the appliance.
