IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the dryer.

• Do not place items exposed to cook- ing oils in your dryer. Items contami-

nated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could

cause a load to catch fire.

• Do not dry articles that have been pre- viously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry- cleaning solvents, other flammable, or

explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer

is used near children.

• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door

to the drying compartment.

• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in

this Owner _ Manual or in

published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer

of the fabric softener or product.

• Do not use heat to dry articles

containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

• Clean lint screen before or after

each load.

• Keep area around the exhaust

opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation

of lint, dust, and dirt.

• The interior of the dryer and

exhaust vent should be cleaned

periodically by qualified service personnel.

• See the "INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS" section for

grounding requirements.

Check that all parts were included.

4 leveling legs

Parts needed:

Check local codes, check existing electri- cal supply and venting and see "Electrical Requirements" and "Venting

Requirements" before purchasing parts. Mobile home installations require:

• Metal exhaust system hardware avail- able for purchase from your local

Sears store or Sears Service Center.

Explosion Hazard

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

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage

installation. Failure to do so can result in death,

explosion, or fire,

You will need

• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting Requirements."

• A separate 30 amp circuit.

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See "Electrical Requirements."

• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 Ibs (90.7 kg).

• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. (If slope is greater than 1 in. [2.5 cm], install Extended Dryer Feet kit, Part No. 279810.) Clothes may not tumble properly and dryers with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

Do not operate or store your dryer in a

location with year-round temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be

extended.

Install the dryer where it is protected from water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes

limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Installation Clearances

The location must be large enough to fully

open the dryer door.

• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and

servicing.

• Additional clearances might be

required for wall, door and floor moldings.

• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the dryer is recommended

to reduce noise transfer.

• For closet installation, with a door,

minimum ventilation openings in the

top and bottom of the door are

required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.

• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

local Sears store or Sears Service Center.

• Special previsions must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air

into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening

Electrical Requirements

It is your responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrical installer.

• To be sure that the electrical connec- tion is adequate and in conformance

with the National Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA 70-latest edition and all

local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire

Protection Association, Batterymamh Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

• To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, sin- gle phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz., AC- only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire,

120/208-volt electrical supply, if speci- fied on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or

circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or

grounding circuit.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Ifcodes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must

determine the type of electrical connec-

tion you will be using and follow the

instructions provided for it here.

• If local codes do not permit the con- nection of a cabinet ground connector to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire

connection" section.

• This dryer is manufactured with a 3- wire, cabinet-ground conductor con- nected to the NEUTRAL (white or cen- ter wire) of the wiring harness at the

terminal block.

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

an area where local codes do not per- mit grounding through the neutral.

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 Type 14-30R. 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:

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 resis- tance 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 grounded 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 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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
