3-Wire System for Electric Dryers–DO NOT use for Mobile Home Installations

Safety

1 Remove the screws securing the terminal block access cover and the strain relief mounting bracket located on the back of the dryer upper corner.

2 Install a UL-approved strain relief into the power cord entry hole of the mounting bracket. Use

a strain relief which attaches to the mounting bracket with a nut. Finger-tighten the nut only at this time.

3 Thread a UL-approved 30A, 240V, 3 #10 AWG minimum copper conductor power cord through the strain relief.

4 Attach the power cord neutral (center wire) conductor to the silver-colored center terminal on the terminal block. Tighten the screw securely.

5 Attach the remaining two power cord outer conductors to the outer brass-colored terminals on the terminal block. Tighten both screws securely.

WARNING: Do not make a sharp bend or crimp wiring/conductor at connections.

6 Reattach the strain relief mounting bracket to the back of the dryer with two screws. Tighten
