4Installation Requirements
Electrical requirements for electric dryer
NOTE
Because of potentially inconsistent voltage capabilities, the use of this dryer with power created by gas powered generators, solar powered generators, wind powered
generators or any other generator other than the local utility company is not recommended.
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers. Use separately fused circuits for washer and dryer. DO NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 208-240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
IMPORTANT
This dryer is internally grounded to neutral unless it was manufactured for sale in Canada.

6Installation Instructions
Electrical installation
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can create electrical shock and/or a fire hazard.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
•This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
•Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation requirements in this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
•A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
•Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt power supply.
Grounding requirements - Electric dryer (USA)
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4 wire power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug that matches you wiring system, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed on this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounding requirements - Electric dryer (Canada)
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3DO NOT modify the plug provided with this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

10 Installation Instructions
Direct Drain Kit, continued
6To route the drain tube to the left of the dryer, secure the tube with the “P” clamp from the kit to the back of the dryer with the cabinet screw shown below.
7To route the drain tube to the right of the dryer, route the tube across the back of the dryer and snap it into the “C” clips shown as below.
8Install the hose hanger from the kit onto the end of the hose and insert in drain.
IMPORTANT
Follow these guidelines for proper drain hose installation:
1The distance from the bottom of the drain tube sag to the top of highest part of drain tube should be no more than 20” (50 cm).
Drain tube may need to be shortened with scissors if sag is greater than allowed.
2The drain height location should be no more than 40” (100 cm) above the bottom of the dryer feet.
MAX 20” (50 cm)
MAX 40” (100 cm)
Installation Instructions 11
General installation
1 Use a carpenter’s level to level your dryer front-to-back and side-to-side.
2Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so the dryer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.
3 Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg(s) so the dryer sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance of the dryer.
IMPORTANT
Be sure the power is off at a circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.
4 Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
5 Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
6Read the Use & Care Guide provided with the dryer. It contains valuable and helpful information that will save you time and money.
7If you have any questions during initial operation, please review the “Avoid Service Checklist” in your Use & Care Guide before calling for service.
8Place these instructions in a location near the dryer for future reference.
NOTE
A wiring diagram is located next to the water container behind the left cabinet panel.
