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.
