Electrical Installation – U.S.A.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
For power supply cord, use a new UL listed 30 A power
supply cord.
For direct wire, 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 (silver).
Connect ground wire (green or bare wire) 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.
1. Disconnect power
2. Remove terminal block cover
NOTE: Your terminal block cover may be in a different
location.
Remove hold-down screw and terminal block cover.
3. Choose electrical connection type
Power supply cord 4-wire receptacle
(NEMA Type 14-30R):
Refer to “4-Wire Power
Supply Connection”. Then, go to “Venting
Requirements.”
Power supply cord 3-wire receptacle
(NEMA Type 10-30R):
Refer to “3-Wire Power
Supply Connection”. Then, go to “Venting
Requirements.”
4-wire direct connection: Go to “Direct Wire
Strain Relief,” then “4-Wire Direct Wire
Connection,” then, go to “Venting
Requirements.”
3-wire direct connection: Go to “Direct Wire
Strain Relief”, then “3-Wire Direct Wire
Connection,” then, go to “Venting

power supply cord or a direct wire connection.
Power Supply Cord Connection
Power Supply Cord Strain Relief
1. Attach power supply cord strain relief
Remove the screws from a 3/4" (19 mm) UL-listed strain relief
(UL marking on strain relief). Put the tabs of the two clamp
sections (C) into the hole below the terminal block opening (B)
so that one tab is pointing up (A) and the other is pointing
down (D), and hold in place. Tighten strain relief screws just
enough to hold the two clamp sections (C) together.
2. Attach power supply cord to strain relief
Put power supply cord through the strain relief. Be sure that
the wire insulation on the power supply cord is inside the
strain relief. The strain relief should have a tight fit with the
dryer cabinet and be in a horizontal position. Tighten the strain
relief against the power supply cord. Do not overtighten the
strain relief screws.
