60Hz, 30-amp circuit is required.
If the electric supply does not meet the above
specifications, then call a licensed electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,

grounding terminal on the appliance.
CONNECTING DRYER POWER CORD
NOTE: Since January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new constructions
utilize a 4-wire connection to an electric dryer.
A 4-wire cord must also be used where local codes
do not permit grounding through the neutral.
3-wire connection is NOT for use on new
construction.
Remove the terminal block access cover located
at the upper back. A
For 3-wire and 4-wire Connection:
Install a UL-listed strain relief into the power
cord entry hole beneath the terminal block.
Thread a UL-listed 30A, 240V, 3-wire or 4-wire,
#10 AWG minimum copper conductor power
cord through the strain relief. B
For 3-wire and 4-wire Connection: Connect
the two hot lines to the outer screws of the
