Grounding Instructions - Kenmore 90 Series Electric Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL approved power supply cord kit
marked for use with clothes dryers, the
kit should contain:
• A UL approved 30 amp power supply
cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The
cord should be type SRD or SRDT and
be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires
that connect to the dryer must end in
ring terminals or spade terminals with
upturned ends.
• A UL approved strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:
©
4_wire receptacle (14_30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord
with ring or spade terminals and UL
approved strain relief. The 4-wire power
supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long,
must have 4, 10 gauge solid copper
wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of
NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire
(ground conductor) may be either green
or bare. The neutral conductor must be
identified by a white cover.
If your outlet looks like this:

3_wire receptacle (10_30R)
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord
with ring or spade terminals and UL
approved strain relief. The 3-wire power
supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long,
must have 3, No.-10 copper wires and
match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type
10-30R.
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 (1.22 m) 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 electric
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 equip-
ment-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
service representative or personnel if
you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.Do not
modify the plug on the power supply
cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
