[] If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire connection" in "Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only" section. [] A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (I) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors. If using a power supply cord: Use a U[. listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain: [] A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SR[]) or SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends. [] A UL listed strain relief. If your outlet looks like this: 4-wire re'ceptacle" (14-30R) Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UI. listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or [)are. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover. If your outlet looks like this: If connecting by direct wire: Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire) and be: [] Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated. [] 10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum). [] At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS [] For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: This dryer must be grounded. In the event of 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. [] For a permanently connected dryer: 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 the dryer. terminal or lead on WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electlic shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer 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 3-wire" re'ceptacle" (lO-30R) Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA t_/pe 10-30R. 6
