If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL approved power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
• A UL approved 30 amp power supply cord, rated 120/240
volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be
at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer
must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned
ends.
• A UL approved strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:
©
4-wire receptacle (14-30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL approved strain relief. The 4-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 4, 10 gauge solid
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type14-30R.
The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare.
The neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover.
If your outlet looks like this:
©
3-wire receptacle (10-30R)
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL approved strain relief. The 3-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 3, No.-10 copper wires
and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
If connecting by direct wire:
Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)
and be:
• Flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with
ground wire). All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
• 10 gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).
• At least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equip-
ment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is proper-
ly 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.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
• Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wall-
paper, carpets, etc.
• Housecleaning problems and health problems.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final position, Remove excess flexible metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow
and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhau.' t hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.

Determine Vent Length
1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually
to avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns.
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
• The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
• The number of elbows used.
• Type of hood.
Recommended hood styles are shown here.

The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.
2.5"
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent
Length Chart.
The chart below helps you determine your maximum vent
length based on the number of 90 ° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood
that you will use.

hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4 in. (10.2 cm)
clamp.
4. Run vent t° dryer I°cati°n" Use the straightest path p°ssible"
See "Determine Vent Length." Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to
seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening
devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure
vent.
Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.
3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to
finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer
visible.
5. Place a carton corner post under each of the 2 dryer back
corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner
posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room
to connect the exhaust vent.
6. Once connection is made and dryer is in final location,
remove corner posts and cardboard.
Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first
side-to-side, then front-to-back.
If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block.
Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for
levelness.
NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it is
moved into its final position.

heated. This odor is common when the heating element is first
used. The odor will go away.
....... .._. ,
In automatic drying cycles, the temperature of the clothes is
reduced by automatically turning down the heat as the clothes
become dry. This reduces overdrying and provides better care of
the fabrics in your clothes.
Y
The EVENHEAWMwith Auto Temp Control system for drying uses
dual moisture sensing devices and SENSOR SMART TM controls.
EVENHEAWMwith Auto Temp Control shortens drying time and
dries the load at lower temperatures for optimal fabric care. The
EVENBEAT TM with Auto Temp Control syNem monitors the
temperature of the heated air to ensure that it is never too hot to
cause fabric damage. It also terminates the cycle when the
clothes are dry to reduce shrinkage.
When the selected level of dryness is reached, the dryer goes
into a cool down period lasting 2-10 minutes. Unlike other dryers
that provide a fixed 10 minute cool down, the length of the
"Smart" cool down is based on the cycle time and selected
dryness setting.
• For small loads or loads that are dried at a lower temperature,
the cool down may be as low as 2 minutes.
• For large loads or loads that are dried at a higher
temperature, the cool down will be closer to 10 minutes.
