If there isn't a power outlet in reach of the unit you have two options. Call an electrician to install an outlet or call a carpenter to redesign your kitchen so that there is one near (basically move the dryer). Extension cables are not recommended for permanent use in kitchens.

Black and Red are hot and connect to the hot lugs on the outlet. White is neutral and connects to the neutral connection. Bare copper is ground and connects to the ground connection. If you look closely on the back of the outlet you buy you will see the connections listed. I am assuming you have 10/3 wire installed for the dryer.
