USA ONLY
wWARNING:
• Connect the power cord to the terminal block. Each colored wire should be connected
to same color screw. Wire color indicated on manual is connected to the same color
screw in block. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a short or overload.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
Four-Wire Connection for Electric Dryers: Direct Wire
