INFORMATION FOR ELECTRIC
DRYERS
For electrical connections using a
power cord:
WARNING
Use a new UL-listed 240V 30 amp dryer power supply
cord with closed ring terminals or spade terminals with
upturned ends.
Use a UL-listed strain relief.
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center
terminal.
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to
green ground connector.
Connect remaining two supply wires to remaining two
terminals.
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Replace the terminal block cover.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical
shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: This dryer
must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance 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.
Improper connection of the
WARNING
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.
