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

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

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
@
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
