This dryer is designed to be operated on a two-wire
plus grounded (earth) wire, 240 Volt, 60 Hertz, single
phase supply circuit. It is designed to be fused at
30 Amperes. Consult nameplate for model and
electrical ratings.

cover from the rear of dryer cabinet.
2. Insert ends of direct wire through power supply
hole (containing proper strain relief) in rear of

(copper wire only) two conductor power supply
cord kit rated 240 Volts (minimum) 30 Amperes for
electric dryers, and labeled as suitable for use in a
clothes dryer.
4. Tighten these wire-binding screws firmly.
