ordinances.
[he National
Electric
Code requires
a 4-wire
power
supply
connection
for homes buih
after 1996,
dryer circuits
involved
in remodeling
after 1996, and all mobile
home
installations.
A copy of the above code standards
can be obtained
from:

[b supply
the required
3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240
volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical
supply
(or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208
volt electrical
supply, if specified
on the serial/rating
plate)
on a separate 30-amp
circuit,
fused on both
sides of the line. A time-delay
fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended.
Connect
to an individual
branch
circuit.
Do not have a fuse in
the neutral
or grounding
circuit.
Do not use an extension
cord.
If codes permit
and a separate
ground wire
is used, it is recommended
that a qualified

path is adequate.
Electrical
Connection
1o properly
install your dryer, you must determine
the type of electrical
connection
you will
be using and follow
the instructions
provided
for it here.
[his dryer is manufactured
ready to install with a 3-wire electrical
supply
connection.
[-he
neutral
ground conductor
is permanently
connected
to the neutral
conductor
(white wire)
within
the dryer. If the dryer is installed
with
a 4-wire
electrical
supply
connection,
the
neutral
ground
conductor
must lye removed
from the external
ground
connector/green
screw),
and secured
under the neutral terminal
icenter
or white
wire) of the terminal
block. When
the neutral ground
conductor
is secured
under the neutral
terminal/center
or white
wire) of the terminal
block,
the dryer cabinet
is isolated
from the neutral
conductor.
If local codes do not permit
the connection
of a neutral
ground
wire to the neutral
wire,
see "Optional
S-wire connection"
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 UI. listed €0-amp power
supply
cord, rated 120/240
volt minimum.
The cord should
be
type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ff (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect
to the dryer
must end in ring terminals
or spade terminals
with
upturned
ends.
A U[. listed strain relief.
If your outlet
looks like this:
4-wire
receptacle
(14-30R)
Then choose
a 4-wire
power
supply
cord with
ring or spade terminals
and U[. 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 Type 14-30R.
The ground
wire (ground
conductor)
may lye either
green or bare. The neutral
conductor
must lye identified
by a white
cover.
If your
outlet
looks like this:
3-wire receptacle (lO-30R)
Then choose
a 3-wire
power
supply
cord with
ring or spade terminals
and U[. listed strain
relief. The 3-wire
power
supply
cord, at least 4 ff (I .22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge
copper
wires and match a 3-wire
receptacle
of NEMA
Type 10-30R.
If connecting
by direct wire:
Power supply
cable must match power supply
(4-wire
or 3-wire)
and lye:
Flexible
armored
cable or nonmetallic
sheathed
copper
cable (with ground
wire),
protected
with
flexible
metallic
conduit.
All current-carrying
wires must lye insulated.
10-gauge
solid copper
wire (do not use aluminum).
At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.
