The “LINE POWER” and the “GROUND” connections to the dryer must be made through the knock
out hole at the top of the electric service/relay box. A strain relief must be used where the line power
ground wires go into the electric service/relay box.
Providing local codes permit, power connections to the dryer can be made by use of a flexible under-
writers laboratory list cord/pigtail (wire must conform to ratings of the dryer), or the dryer can be hard
wired directly to the service breaker. In ALL cases, a strain relief must be used where the wire(s) enter
the dryer electrical service (relay) box.
NOTE: A CIRCUIT SERVING EACH DRYER MUST BE PROVIDED.
3. Electrical Connections
NOTE: A wire diagram is included with each dryer and is affixed to the back side of the top control

GROUND, and in the case of 4 wire service, the NEUTRAL. These electrical connections are made at
the terminal block located in the service/relay box at the rear, upper left hand corner of the dryer. To gain
