Four-Wire Direct Wire

A UL-listed strain relief is required.
Use UL-listed 4-wire #10 AWG minimum copper conductor cable. Allow at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of wire to allow for removal and reinstallation of the dryer.

• Remove 5 inches (12.7 cm) of the outer covering from the wire and remove 5 inches of insulation from the ground wire. Cut off approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) from the other three wires and strip 1 inch (2.5 cm) insulation from each wire. Bend the ends of the three shorter wires into a hook shape.
