"_, Prepare your 4-wire cable
for direct connection
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so
dryer may be moved if needed.

leaving bare ground wire at 5" (127 mm). Cut 11/2" (38 mm)
from remaining 3 wires. Strip insulation back 1" (25 mm).
Shape ends of wires into hooks.
Place hooked ends of remaining direct wire cable wires under
outer terminal block screws (hooks facing right). Squeeze
hooked ends together and tighten screws. Replace the terminal
block cover on the back of the dryer. Tighten strain relief nut.
Now, go to "Venting Requirements."
Remove the neutral ground wire (white) (F) located inside the
dryer cabinet, behind the external ground conductor screw (A).
