Where local codes permit
connecting cabinet-ground
conductor to the neutral wire:
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a new UL approved 30 ampere
power supply cord.
Use a UL approved strain relief.
Disconnect power before making
electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center
wire) to center terminal (silver).
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,
fire, or electrical shock.

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove terminal block cover.
3. Install copper three-wire power supply
cord through strain relief.
4. Remove the ground wire (green with
yellow stripes) from under center, silver-
colored terminal block screw and
connect to external ground connector
(see Figure 8).
5. Connect the neutral wire (white or
center) of the power supply cord to the
center, silver-colored terminal screw of
the terminal block. Connect the other
wires to the outer terminals. Tighten
screws firmly.
6. Tighten strain relief screws.
7. Replace the terminal block cover.

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove terminal block cover.
3. Install solid copper, power supply cord or
cable through strain relief.
4. Remove the ground wire (green with
yellow stripes) from the external ground
connector.
5. Connect the ground wire (green with
yellow stripes) and the neutral (white)
wire of the power supply cord or direct
wire cable to the center, silver-colored
terminal screw of the terminal block.
Connect the other wires to the outer
terminals. Tighten screws (see Figure 12).
Panel C
Where local codes permit
connecting cabinet-ground
conductor to the neutral wire of the
power supply cable:
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use 10 gauge solid copper wire.
Use a UL approved strain relief.
Disconnect power before making
electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center
wire) to center terminal (silver).
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,
fire, or electrical shock.
DIRECT WIRE
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove terminal block cover.
3. Strip 3-1/2 inches of outer covering from
end of cable. If using three-wire cable
with I wire, cut the bare wire even with
outer covering. Strip 1 inch of insulation
from the end of each insulated wire (see
Figure 9).
Bare wire cut short. Wire is not
used. Dryer is grounded through
3/4" U.L.-listed
direct wire cable.

connect to external ground connector
(see Figure 11).
6. Slide the hook end of the neutral (white
or center) wire from the three-wire
power supply cable under the center,
silver-colored terminal screw of the
terminal block. Squeeze the hook end of
the wire together. Tighten screw.
7. Connect the other wires to the
outer terminals using the same method.
Tighten screws firmly (see Figure 11).
8. Tighten strain relief screws.
9. Replace the terminal block cover.
6. Connect a separate copper ground wire
(No.-10 minimum) from the external
ground screw to an adequate ground.
7. Tighten strain relief screws.
8. Replace the terminal block cover.
Exhaust requirements
WARNING
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to do so can result in death or
fire.
Important: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
It is recommended that you exhaust
your dryer to the outside for best
performance. Moisture and lint indoors
may cause:
• Lint to gather around the dryer where
it can be fuel for a fire.
• Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
• Housecleaning problems and health
problems.
If the washer/dryer is installed in a
confined area such as a bedroom,
bathroom or closet, it must be
exhausted to the outside and provision
must be made for enough air for
ventilation. Check governing codes and
ordinances. Also refer to the "Recessed
and closet installation instructions" on
Panel G.
Dura Safe
TM
vent products are
recommended and are available from
your dealer. See Panel G.
Four-inch diameter vent is required.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or
metal foil vent.
• Do Not use non-metal flexible vent, or
exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.

• Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney,
furnace, cold air vent, attic or crawl space,
NEUTRAL
or any other vent used for venting.
wires stripped
• Do Not install flexible vent in enclosed walls,
of insulation
ceilings or floors.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended
and supported when the dryer is in its final
position.
Remove excess flexible vent to avoid
sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced air flow.
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust
vent to prevent rodents and insects from
entering the home.
Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12
inches from the ground or
any object that may be in
the path of the exhaust
(such as flowers, rocks or
bushes, etc.).
If using an existing exhaust
system, clean lint from entire
length of system and make sure exhaust
hood is not plugged with lint.
Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with
rigid metal or flexible metal vent.
Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct
tape, screws or other fastening devices that
extend into the interior of the vent to secure
vent.
Service check: Back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.6 inches in
water column measured with an incline
manometer at the point that exhaust vent
connects to dryer.
