If connecting by direct wire:
Power supply cable must match
power supply (4-wire or 3-wire) and
be:
• Flexible armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable (with ground
wire). All current-carrying wires
must be insulated.
• 10 gauge solid copper wire (do not
use aluminum).
• At least 4 ft (122 cm) long.
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 e]ectric
shock by providing a path of least resis-
tance 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 grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
• 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 ser-
vice representative or personnel if you
are in doubt as to whether the appli-
ance is properly grounded. De not mod-
ify the plug on the power supply cord. If
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
