DIRECT WIRE OR POWER SUPPLY CORD

Three-wire power supply cord must have three, No.-10 copper wires and match a three-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.

Direct wire power supply cable must be prepared as shown in “Preparing the wire” of the three-wire connection direct-wire steps above.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Where local codes Do Not permit

connecting cabinet-ground conductor to neutral wire:

4. Remove center terminal block screw.

5. Remove the appliance harness ground wire (green with yellow stripes) from the external ground connector screw. Connect appliance harness ground wire and the neutral wire (white or center) of the power supply cord/cable under the center, silver-colored terminal block screw. Tighten screw.

6. Connect the other wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws.

7. Tighten strain relief screws.

8. Reinstall terminal block cover to the dryer rear panel. Secure cover with hold-down screw.

9. After reattaching the terminal cover, connect a separate copper ground wire from the external ground connector screw to an adequate ground.

8.To exhaust dryer, see Exhaust requirements, Pages 3-4. Connect exhaust vent to dryer exhaust outlet and exhaust hood using 4" (10.2 cm) clamps. Use caulking to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

9.Carefully move dryer into final position. Place level on top of the dryer, first side to side; then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

10.In U.S. or Canada, plug power supply cord into grounded outlet. Or, in the U.S. only, connect direct wire to power supply.

Turn power supply on.

11.Check dryer operation (some accumulated time may be on the timer due to factory testing).

Insert coins in slide and press slide in slowly. (Operating time will accumulate per number of coins and type of timing cam used.) Push START/RESTART button. Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for at least five minutes. Dryer will stop when time is used up.

Note: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate. When door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. To restart dryer, close door and push START/RESTART button.

12.If drying time is too long, make sure lint screen is clean.

13.Now start the dryer and allow it to complete a full heat cycle (not air cycle) to make sure it is working properly.
