ELECTRIC DRYER ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connecting 3-Wire Connection: Direct Wire
Use where local codes permit connecting cabinet-ground
conductor to neutral wire.
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so
dryer can be moved if needed.
Strip 3½" (89 mm) of outer covering from end of cable. Strip
insulation back 1" (25 mm). If using 3-wire cable with ground
wire, cut bare wire even with outer covering. Shape ends of
wires into a hook shape.
