Fire Hazard
Use 10 gauge copper wire.
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, re, or

Direct wire strain relief:
n Unscrew the removable conduit connector and
any screws from a 3/4" (19 mm) UL Listed strain
relief. Put the threaded section of the strain relief
through the hole below the terminal block opening.
Reaching inside the terminal block opening, screw
the removable conduit connector onto the strain
relief threads.
n Put direct wire cable through the strain relief. The strain
relief should have a tight t with the dryer cabinet and
be in a horizontal position. Tighten strain relief screw
against the direct wire cable.
Direct wire cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)
and be:
n Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper
cable (with ground wire), protected with exible metallic
conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
n 10 gauge copper wire (do not use aluminum).
n At least 5 ft. (1.52 m) long.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove hold-down screw and terminal block cover.
3. Install direct wire strain relief.
4. Complete installation following instructions for your type
of electrical connection:
• 4-wire (recommended method)
• 3-wire (if four-wire is not available)
