INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
www.insigniaproducts.com
Most dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120/208 volt, 60Hz approved
electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located behind the door. A 30-ampere
fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
• If you use a power cord, you should plug the cord into a 30-ampere receptacle.
• A power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
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 ft. (1.22 m) long
• Have three 10-gauge solid copper wires
• Match a three-wire outlet of NEMA Type 10-30R.
See Step-by-Step instructions
on page 16 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 ft. (1.22 m) long
• Have four 10-gauge solid copper wires
• Match a four-wire outlet of NEMA Type 14-30 R. 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 16 for instructions on how to connect a power cord to your dryer.
WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of your dryer may be connected by means of a new power supply
cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is UL listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts, 30-ampere with
three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up
ends, or with tinned leads.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be retained at
the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor 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
conductor. (Use a four-prong plug for four-wire receptacles, NEMA type 14-30R.)
