the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 (or the latest edition) and local codes and ordinances.

Important: Allow slack in the line between the wall and the appliance so that it can be move if servicing is ever necessary.

A U.L.-listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box). Wire sizes (10-gauge COPPER WIRE ONLY) and connections must conform with the 30-ampere circuit rating.

E.For mobile home installation, the three-wire power supply cord must be removed and the appliance wiring must be revised. The appliance frame must not be connected to the neutral terminal, but must be connected to the grounding wire (green) of the power supply cord. See Alternate electrical connection - mobile home installation, for detailed instructions.

If a four-wire receptacle of NEMA type 14-30R is available, a matching power supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains No. 10-gauge copper conductors with spade or ring terminals on the dryer end and terminating in a NEMA type 14-30P plug on supply end. The fourth (grounding) must be identified by a green cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. Cord should be at least three feet long. The four-wire power supply cord and strain relief are not provided with the dryer.

!WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power supply cord from the electric supply before making these changes. Use a new power supply cord.

Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.
