If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked
for use with clothes dryers. The kit should
contain:
A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rat-
ed 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 listed 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 listed strain
relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least
4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four, 10-gauge
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 listed strain
relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least
4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three, 10-gauge
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 cable or nonmetallic
sheathed copper cable (with ground wire),
protected with flexible metallic conduit. All
current-carrying wires must be insulated.
10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use
aluminum).
At least 5 ft (1.52 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 resistance for
electric current. This dryer uses a cord
having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a ground-
ed metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and con-
nected to the equipment-grounding termi-
nal 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 representa-
tive or personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the dryer is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug on the power sup-
ply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified elec-
trician.
