3-wire connection: Direct wire Use where local codes permit connecting cabinet-ground conductor to neutral wire. Direct wire cable must have 5 ft. (1.52 m) of extra length so dryer can be moved if needed. 3. Place the hooked ends of the other direct wire cable wires under the outer terminal block screws (hooks facing right). Squeeze hooked ends together. Tighten screws. Strip 3½" (89 mm) of outer covering from end of cable. Strip insulation back 1" (25 mm).

4. Connect the other wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws. If using an existing vent system ■■ Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. ■■ Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid heavy metal vent or flexible metal vent. ■■ Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best drying performance. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.
