CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS (cont.)
WARNING:
• Connect the power cord to the terminal block. Each colored wire should be connected to
same color screw. Wire color indicated on manual is connected to the same color screw
in block. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a short or overload.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
Four-wire Connection for Electric Dryers: Direct wire
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well
as all new construction after January 1, 1996.
• A UL-listed strain relief is required.
• Use UL-listed 4-wire #10 AWG-minimum
copper conductor cable.
• Allow at least 5 ft (1.5 m) length to allow for
removal and reinstallation of the dryer.

Remove 5 inches (12.7 cm) of the outer
covering from the wire. Remove 5 inches
of insulation from the ground wire. Cut off
approximately 11/2inches (3.8 cm) from the
other three wires and strip 1 inch (2.5 cm)
insulation from each wire. Bend the ends of
the three shorter wires into a hook shape.
