If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,

see "Optional 3-wire connection" section in "Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only" section.

[] A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding

through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UI. listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

[] A U] listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 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 UI listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire" re'cept_cle' (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UI. listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 fl (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA l_pe 14-30R. [-he 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-wir_"r_'ceptacl_" (lO-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 t_/pe 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 wire2,

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 conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

[] For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal 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 representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
