EXPORT ELECTRIC MODELS
Export electric models are manufactured for operation on either 230/240 volt, 50 Hz or 220 volt, 60 Hz
approved electric service. A two-wire approved electrical service with a 30 ampere fuse or circuit breaker is
required. The dryer must be properly grounded with a ground wire.
IMPORTANT: When permitted by local codes, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a
new power supply cord kit, marked for use with clothes dryers, that is agency listed, rated at 240 volts
minimum, 30 amperes with two No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-
end spade lugs with turned up ends or with tinned leads.
Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord or electric supply wiring must be
retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable agency listed strain relief.
2-WIRE AND GROUND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with an agency listed strain relief through
the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block. Note, a
strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block.
Be sure they are tight. Use a 318" (1 cm) deep well socket.
Secure the power cord ground wire to the terminal block
support using the ground screw.
If the power cord has terminals, place the terminals over the
existing nuts on the posts. The neutral wire in power cord
must be connected to the center (silver colored) post of the
terminal block.
Secure in place using the nuts provided in the parts package.
If the power cord does not have terminals, use the cupped
