1.
Prepare your 4-wire cable
for direct connection
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m)
of extra length so Laundry Center can
be moved if needed.
Strip 5" (127 mm) of outer covering
from end of cable, leaving bare ground
wire at 5" (127 mm). Cut 1-1/2" (38 mm)
from remaining 3 wires. Strip insulation
back 1" (25 mm). Shape ends of wires into a hook shape.
When connecting to the terminal block, place the hooked end
of the wire under the screw of the terminal block (hook facing
right), squeeze hooked end together, and tighten screw. See
example above.
