Four-Wire Power Cord - LG WKEX200HA Serie Manual De Instalación

14 INSTALLATION
WARNING
• The wiring and grounding must conform to the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 and all applicable local
regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician
to check your home's wiring and fuses to ensure
that your home has adequate electrical power to
operate the 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.
• The dryer has its own terminal block that must
be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz,
single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the
circuit must be fused on both sides of the line).
ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD
BE OF THE MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON
THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT THE DRYER
TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT.
• If the branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or
less in length, use UL (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. If over
15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire
(copper wire only), or as required by local codes.
Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the dryer can
be moved from its normal location when
necessary.
• The power cord (pigtail) connection between the
wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block IS
NOT supplied with the dryer. Type of pigtail and
gauge of wire must conform to local codes and
with instructions on the following pages.
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well as
all new construction after January 1, 1996. A 4-
wire connection must be used where local codes
do not permit grounding through the neutral
wire.
• Do not modify the plug and internal wire
provided with the dryer.
• The dryer should be connected to a 4-hole
outlet.
• If the plug does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet
will need to be installed by a qualified electrician.
• Connect the power cord to the terminal block.
Each colored wire should be connected to the
same color screw. Wire color indicated on
manual is connected to the same color screw in
the block.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational
vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
• This dryer is supplied with the neutral wire
grounded. This white ground wire MUST BE
MOVED to the neutral terminal when a 4-wire
cord is to be used, or where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited.
NOTE
• For electrical requirements for mobile or
manufactured homes, see For Mobile or
Manufactured Homes.

power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor and closed loop or forked terminals
with upturned ends.
1
Remove the terminal block access cover on
the upper back of the appliance.
2
Install UL-listed strain relief into the power
cord through-hole.
3
