Power Supply Cord or Direct Wire

Where local codes DO NOT permit connecting the frame- ground conductor to the neutral (white) wire:

1a. Turn power supply off.
2a. Complete	Power Supply Cord
Steps 2-3, Page 7 or Direct Wire Steps

Turn power supply off before connecting wires.

Use 10 gauge solid copper wire. Electrically ground dryer.

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

1 . Turn power supply off.

2 . Strip 3-l /2 inches of outer covering from end of cable. If using three-wire cable with ground wire, cut the bare wire even with outer covering. Strip 1 inch of insulation from the end of each insulated wire (see Figure 17).

Bare wire cut short. Mire is not used. Dryer is grounded through dire:t wire cable.

5 . Loosen or remove terminal block screws. Connect the neutral wire (white or center) of direct wire cable under the center screw of the terminal block. Place the hook- shaped end of the wire over the terminal block screw with open side of the hook facing to the right. Squeeze hook end of wire together to form a loop.

Connect the other two wires under the outer terminal block screws. Attach wires using the same method as the neutral wire (see Figure 21).

Tighten all terminal block screws firmly.

Center wire MUST be connected to center screw.
