Power outlet types
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.)
