If using a power supply cord:

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

■■ A UL listed 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 listed strain relief.

Parts needed: (Not supplied with dryer)

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting. See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements” before purchasing parts.

Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. For further information, call 1-844-553-6667 (U.S.) or 1-800-469-4663 (Canada).

Optional Equipment: (Not supplied with dryer)

Refer to your “Use and Care Guide” for information about accessories available for your dryer.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

You will need:

■■ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. See “Venting Requirements.”

■■ A separate 15 or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and 30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.

■■ If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■■ Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). Also consider weight of companion appliance.

■■ Level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly.

■■ For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) above floor.

■■ Steam models only: Cold water faucet located within

4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of

20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the water supply for your washer using the “Y” connector and short hose which are provided.

■■ If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below 45° F

(7° C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer drying times.

NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
