Article: If your dryer does not come with a cord, buy a power cord which is suitable for the dryer you have purchased. You will also need a strain relief to keep the cord from becoming damaged. The appropriate cord and strain relief type should be listed in the manufacturer's manual. Install the strain relief at the power cord through-hole. Open the terminal block access cover and attach the ends of the power cord to the appropriate terminals. Tightly secure the ends of the power cord and the strain relief with the screws, and then replace the terminal cover. It should be several inches away from the wall. It should also not be located in an area that is overly cold, as this can inhibit the dryer's function. If you are using a flexible or semi-rigid exhaust vent hose, take extra care not to crush the hose between the dryer and the wall. Keeping your dryer level will ensure that it is stable. Get a basic level and check it side to side and front to back, at all four corners, and at the center. If necessary, adjust the lengths of the legs on the dryer to make it completely level. You should now be ready to use your new dryer.
