INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Be sure to cross the
screw through the terminal ring and tighten the screw.
5. Tighten the strain relief screws.
6. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into your dryer's rear panel slot. Secure
the cover with a screw.
WARNING:
Ring-type terminals are recommended. If using strap terminals, make sure they are
tightened.
WARNING:
3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION.
The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction,
mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral conductor.
If the 4-wire system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral
conductor at the terminal block. Refer to the "Electric requirements" section for
3-WIRE or 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hose provided in the
cabinet near the terminal block.
- A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8" (1 cm) deep well socket.
For Direct Wire Connections
If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, this
appliance 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 or lead on the appliance.
1. The permanent wiring must be covered with flexible metal conduit.
2. Use 10 gauge copper wire.
3. Use a UL-listed strain relief.
4. Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
