CONNECTING DRYER USING 4-WIRE
CONNECTION (MUST BE USED FOR
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION)
NOTES: SInce January 1,1996, the National Electric code
requires that the new constructions utilize a 4-wire
connection to an electric dryer.
WARNING:Only a 4-conductor cord shall be
used when the appliance is installed in a location where
grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited.
Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for the new
branch-circuit installations, mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, and areas where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conduction.
