Installation Instructions
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
ELECTRIC DRYERS
This dryer must be connected to an individual
branch circuit, protected by the required time-delay
fuses or circuit breakers. 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.
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.
NOTE: Since January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new constructions utilize a
4-wire connection to an electric dryer. A 4-wire cord
must also be used where local codes do not permit
grounding through the neutral.
3-wire connection is NOT for use on new
construction.
WARNING – NEVER LEAVE THE
COVER OFF OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK.
1. Turn off the circuit breaker(s) (30 amp) or remove
the dryer’s circuit fuse at the electrical box.
2.
Be sure the dryer cord is unplugged from the wall
receptacle.
3.
Remove the power cord cover located at the
lower back.
4.
Remove and discard ground strap. Keep the
green ground screw for Step 7.
5.
Install 3/4 in. UL-recognized strain relief to power
cord entry hole. Bring power cord through strain
relief.
6.
Connect power cord as follows:
A. Connect the 2 hot lines to the outer screws of
the terminal block (marked L1 and L2).
B. Connect the neutral (white) line to the center of
the terminal block (marked N).
7.
Attach ground wire of power cord with the green
ground screw (hole above strain relief bracket).
Tighten all terminal block screws (3) securely.
8.
Properly secure power cord to strain relief.
9.
Reinstall the cover.

CONNECTING DRYER USING 4-WIRE
CONNECTION (MUST BE USED FOR
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION)
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing
a path of least resistance for electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with 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.
