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 quar[ers. Contact your local building inspector.

Installation Clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.

Dryer Dimensions

Parts needed:

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting and see "Electrical Requirements" and "Venting Requirements"

before purchasing parts. Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware

available for purchase from your local Sears store or Sears Service Center. For further information, call 1-8OO-4-MY-HOME _

(1-800-469-4663).

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.

* Most installations require a minimum 5V2in. (14 cm) clearance

behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting Requirements."

Minimum installation spacing for recessed area or closet

installation

The dimensions shown following are for the minimum spacing allowed.

• 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.

It is your responsibility

• To contact a qualified electrical installer.

• To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/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, Batterymarch Park,

Quincy, MA 02269.

• To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208-volt electrical supply, if specified 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.

• If codes 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 connection you will be using and follow the instructions

provided for it here.

• If local codes do not permit the connection 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 connected to the NEUTRAL (white or center 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 permit 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:

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 cable or non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic

conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

• 10 gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).

• At least 5 ft (1.52 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 wtring 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.

;heck with a qualified electrician or service representative or )ersonnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is proper-

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.

4. Grounding path determined by a qualified electrician

• The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be

connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct

tape.

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 exhaust hood is not plugged with

lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or

flexible metal vent.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

4 in. (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be

used. DURASAFE TM venting products are recommended. DURASAFF Mvent products can be purchased from your local

Sears store or Sears Service Center. For more information, call

1-800-4-MY-HOME ®(1-800-469-4663).
