Installation Instructions CONNECTING AN ELECTRIC DRYER (cont.) (Skip for gas dryers and if your dryer already has a power cord attached) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS For electrical connections using a power cord: WARNING - Fire Hazard Use a new UL-listed 240V 30 amp dryer power supply cord with closed ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends. Use a UL-listed strain relief. Disconnect power before making electrical connections. Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal. Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground connector. Connect remaining two supply wires to remaining two terminals. Securely tighten all electrical connections. Replace the terminal block cover. Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician, or service representative or personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS For direct wire connections: WARNING - Fire Hazard Use 10 gauge copper wire. Use a UL-listed strain relief. Disconnect power before making electrical connections. Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal. Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground connector. Connect remaining two supply wires to remaining two terminals. Securely tighten all electrical connections. Replace the terminal block cover. Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For a permanently connected dryer: 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. WARNING Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician, or service representative or personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 10
