entire dryer. (If slope is greater than 1 in. [2.5 cm], install

Extended Dryer Feet Kit, Part No. 279819.) Clothes may not

tumble properly and models with automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

Do not operate your dryer at 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 allow the dryer door to open fully.

Dryer Dimensions

* Most installations require a minimum 51/2in. (14 cm) clearance

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

Mobile Home-Additional Installation Requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home

Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280).

Mobile home installations require:

• Metal exhaust system hardware which is available for purchase from your local Sears store or Sears Service Center.

Special provisions 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.

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, 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, 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 4wire, 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 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.

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.

Vent Length Chart

1o To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from

the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer. See illustration.

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

Flexible metal 25 ft (7.6 m) 17 ft (5.2 m)

4 Rigid metal 27 ft (8.2 m) 21 f1(6.4 m)

Flexible metal 23 ft (7 m) 15 ft (4.6 m)

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add 1

90° turn to the chart.

1. (Optional) Put on safety glasses and gloves.

2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior

wall opening around exhaust hood.

3. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust 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.

1. Using a 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is

clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured

to exhaust hood with a 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

3. (On gas models) Ifflexible metal tubing is used, check to be

sure there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

FEATURES AND

BENEFITS

The exclusive TOTAL CARE TM System combines the KING SiZE TM

load capacity, EVENHEATTM with Auto Temp Control, WRINKLE

GUARD®Ill, and the TUMBLE FREETM heated dryer rack to ensure total drying care for any type of fabric and load size.

1. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was

skipped.

2. Check to be sure you have all of your tools.

3. Dispose of all packaging materials.

4. Check the dryer's final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed or kinked.

5. Check to be sure the dryer is level. (See "Level Dryer.")

6. Plug into a grounded outlet. Turn power on.

7. Remove the blue protective film on the console and any tape remaining on the dryer.

8. Read "Dryer Use."

9. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

f0. Set the dryer on a full heat cycle (not an air cycle) for 20

minutes and start the dryer.

If the dryer will not start, check the following:

• Controls are set in a running or "On" position.

• Start button has been pushed firmly.

• Dryer is plugged into a grounded outlet.

• Electrical supply is connected.

• House fuse is intact and tight; or circuit breaker has not

tripped.

• Dryer door is closed.

11. When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat.

If you do not feel heat, turn the dryer off and check the

following:

• There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check to make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both

circuit breakers have not tripped. If there is still no heat, contact a qualified technician.

NOTE: You may notice a burning odor when the dryer is first 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.

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.
