Power Supply Cord Strain Relief
1. I nsert strain relief.
Remove the screws from a ¾" (19 mm) UL listed strain relief (UL
marking on strain relief). Put the tabs of the two clamp sections
(C) into the hole below the terminal block opening (B) so that
one tab is pointing up (A) and the other is pointing down (D), and
hold in place. Tighten strain relief screws just enough to hold the
two clamp sections (C) together.
2. I nsert power cord into strain relief.
Put power supply cord through the strain relief. Be sure that the
wire insulation on the power supply cord is inside the strain relief.
The strain relief should have a tight fit with the dryer cabinet and
be in a horizontal position. Do not further tighten strain relief
screws at this point.
