A. SELECT LOCATION FOR

YOUR DRYER

Selecting the proper location for your dryer makes installation easy and gives you the best drying performance.

STANDARD INSTALLATION Check location where dryer will be installed.

Proper installation is your responsibility.

Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation (see illustration below).

The dryer must not be installed where it can be exposed to water and/or weather.

• Proper operation of dryer cycles

requires temperatures above 45°F (at lower temperatures, the dryer may not shut off at the end of automatic cycles and drying times will be extended).

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

• Check code requirements. Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

B. iNSTALL LEVELING LEGS

STEP 5. Stand the dryer up and move it close to its final location. Leave enough

room to connect the exhaust vent.

Leveling your dryer correctly will reduce operating noise and provide

improved drying performance.

STEP 1. Take two of the cardboard

corners from the carton. Place them on the floor in back of the dryer.

STEP 2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console panel).

Gently lay dryer on the cardboard corners.

STEP 3. With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond marking.

STEP 6. Check levelness of dryer by placing a level on top of the dryer, first side-to-side; then front-to-back.

STEP 7. If dryer is not level, prop the dryer up using two stacked cardboard corner posts. Use a wrench to adjust

the legs up or down.

STEP 4. Start to screw the legs into the holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until diamond marking is no longer visible. This is when we recommend you start checking the dryer for levelness. Further adjustment may be necessary.

NOTE: It may be necessary to level

the dryer again after it is moved into

its final position.

C,MAKE ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION

It is your responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrical installer.

• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70 - latest edition and all local

codes and ordinances.

Copies of the code standards listed

above may be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The proper electrical connection ensures a safe installation that

meets local code requirements. A three-wire or four-wire, single

phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, electrical supply (or three-wire or four-wire, 120/208-volt if specified on serial/rating plate) is required on a separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse

or circuit breaker is recommended. This dryer is manufactured with the

3-wire, frame-grounding conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (white or center) of the wiring harness of the

terminal block. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse

in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in an electrical shock.

Use a 4-conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a mobile home or

an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

i. THREE-WIRE ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION TO RECEPTACLE

Use a 3-wire power supply cord:

Fire Hazard

Use a new UL approved 30 ampere power supply cord.

Use a UL approved strain relief. Disconnect power before making

electrical connections. Connect neutral wire (white or center

wire) to center terminal (silver). Ground wire (green or bare wire)

must be connected to green ground connector.

Connect remaining 2 supply wires

to remaining 2 terminals (gold). Securely tighten all electrical

connections. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or electrical

shock,

Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed, 120/240-volt minimum, 30-ampere, dryer power supply cord kit (pigtail). Power supply cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least

four feet long. The wires that connect

to the dryer must end with ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

Do not use an extension cord with this dryer.

Do not connect plug end of power supply cord into a live receptacle before connecting power supply cord to dryer terminal block.

The power supply cord must have three, No.-10 copper wires to match a three-

wire receptacle of NEMAType 10-30R.

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS Thisappliancemustbegrounded.

Intheevent of malfunction or break-

down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path

of least resistance for electric current. The power supply cord must be plugged

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING: improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check

with a qualified electrician or serviceman if your are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

STEP 1. Disconnect power.

STEP 2. Remove hold-down screw and terminal block cover.

STEP 3. Attach a 3/4-inch, U.L.-listed strain relief to the hole below terminal

block opening. Strain relief should have a tight fit with dryer cabinet and be in a horizontal position. Put the power supply cord through the strain relief.

STEP 4. Loosen or remove terminal block screws. Connect the neutral wire (white

or center) of power supply cord under

the center screw of the terminal block.

STEP 5. Connect the other two wires

to outer terminal block screws. Securely tighten all electrical connections.
