ELECTRICDRYER INSTALLATION
Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. only (cont.)
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type
of electrical connection you will be using and follow the
instructions provided for it here.
[] This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor
is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white
wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire
electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor
must be removed from the external ground connector
(green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal
(center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the
neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral
terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the
dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.
[] If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral
ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire
connection" 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 (1) new branch-circuit installations
and (2) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through
the neutral conductor.
Electric Dryer Grounding
Electric Dryer Power Supply Cord
Fire Hazard
Use a new UL listed 30 amp power supply cord.
Use a UL listed strain relief.
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center
terminal,
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to
green ground connector.
Connect remaining 2 supply wires to remaining
2 terminals (gold).
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
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 terminal or lead on
the dryer.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric 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
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL 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 SRD 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'U" shaped spade
terminals with upturned ends.
[] A UL listed strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:

receptacle
(14-30R}
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring
or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The
4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft. (1.22 m)
long, must have four lO-gauge copper wires and
match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R.
The ground wire (ground conductor) may be
either green or bare. The neutral conductor must
be identified by a white coven
If your outlet looks like this:
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 lO-gauge copper wires and
match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
