Installing the dryer (cont.).

Remove the screws securing the terminal block

access cover and the strain relief mounting

bracket located on the back of the dryer upper

corner.
Install a UL-approved strain relief into the power

cord entry hole of the mounting bracket. Use

a strain relief which attaches to the mounting

bracket with a nut. Finger-tighten the nut only

at this time.
Thread a UL-approved 30A, 240V, 3 #10 AWG

minimum copper conductor power cord through

the strain relief.

Attach the power cord neutral (center wire)

conductor to the silver-colored center terminal

on the terminal block. Tighten the screw

securely.
Attach the remaining two power cord outer

conductors to the outer brass-colored terminals

on the terminal block. Tighten both screws

securely.

WARNING:

Do not make a sharp bend or crimp

wiring/conductor at connections.

Reattach the strain relief mounting bracket to

the back of the dryer with one screw. Tighten

screw securely.
Tighten the screws securing the cord restraint

firmly against the power cord.
Tighten the strain relief nut securely so that the

strain relief does not turn.
Reinstall the terminal block access cover.
