WARNING
Electric models
Dryer must be grounded with 3 or 4 wire cord power cord with ground
grounding conductor and a grounding plug, which is sold separately.
• The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn’t fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently
wired, the dryer must be connected to a permanently grounded
metal 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.
4-wire system instructions:
IMPORTANT: Ring-type terminals are recommended. If using
strap terminals, make sure they are tightened.
Center terminal block screw
External ground connector
Green or bare copper wire of the

Neutral grounding wire (White)
Neutral wire (white or center wire)
3/4" (1.9cm) UL-listed strain relief
Electrical Shock Hazard
All U.S. models are produced for a 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-wellsocket.
