INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Power outlet types
Using a three-wire outlet
If your outlet is a three-wire (three-prong) outlet, choose a three-wire power
supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The three-wire
power supply cord must:
• Be at least 4.9 ft. (1.5 m) long.
• Have three 10-gauge solid copper wires.
• Match a three-wire outlet of NEMA Type 10-30R.
• Be rated 120/240 V, minimum 10 A.
See Step-by-step instructions
on page 20 for instructions on how to connect a
power cord to your dryer.
Using a four-wire outlet
If your outlet is a four-wire (four-prong) outlet, choose a four-wire power supply
cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The four-wire power
supply cord must:
• Be at least 4.9 ft. (1.5 m) long.
• Have four 10-gauge solid copper wires.
• Match a four-wire outlet of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground
conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be
identified by a white color.
See Step-by-step instructions
on page 20 for instructions on how to connect a
power cord to your dryer.
Grounding requirements
Your dryer must be grounded. If a malfunction or breakdown occurs, the
grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for the electrical current.
• For products sold in the U.S., your dryer has an optional cord with an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, which is sold
separately. For products sold in Canada, your dryer is equipped with 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.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
