If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire receptacle (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain
relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground
conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white
cover.
If your outlet looks like this:

3-wire receptacle (10-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain
relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge
copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
If connecting by direct wire:
Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire) and be:

Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire),
protected with flexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dryer.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power
supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
