Failure to do so can result in fire or electrical shock. Prepare minimum 5 ft (1.52 m) of length in order for dryer to be replaced. First, peel 5 inches (12.7 cm) of covering material from end. Strip 5 inches of ground wire insulation. After cutting 11/2 inch (3.8 cm) from 3 other wires peel insulation back 1 inch (2.5 cm). Make ends of 3 wires a hook shape. 4-wire direct If this type is available at your home. you will be connecting to a fused disconnect or circuit breaker box. 3-wire direct If this type is available at your home. you will be connecting to a fused disconnect or circuit breaker box. Note • Connect the power supply wire to the terminal block. Colored wire should be connected to same color screw. Wire color indicated on manual is connected to the same color screw in block. Otherwise,a short or excessive current flow may result. Then, put the hooked shape end of the wire under the screw of the terminal block (hooked end facing to the right) and pinch the hook together and screw tightly. 1. Connect neutral wire (white) of power cord to center terminal block screw. 2. Connect red and black wires to the left and right terminal block screws. 3. Connect ground wire (green) of power cord to external ground screw and move neutral ground wire of appliance and connect it to center screw. 4. Make sure that the strain relief screw is tightened. Be sure that all terminal block nuts are on tight and power cord is in right position. 18
