CONNECTION (DIRECT WIRE)

Prepare cable as directed:

Electrical Shock Hazard

1"urn power supply off before connecting wires.

Use 10 gauge solid copper wire. ElectricaUy ground dryer.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

The dryer can be connected directly to fused disconnect or circuit breaker

box with four-wire flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire). All current-carrying wires must be insulated. The grounding wire may be bare.

A conduit connector must be installed at junction box. Allow four feet of slack in the line so dryer can be moved if serJicing is ever necessary.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-groundingconductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

STE'P 1. Turn power supply off.

STEP la. Strip 5 inches of outer covering from end of cable. Leave bare grounding wire at 5 inches.

STEP lb. Cut 11/2inches from

3 remaining insulated wires. Strip insulation back 1 inch. Shape the end of each wire into a "U" shaped hook.

STEP 2. Remove hold-down screw and terminal block cover.
