Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation including proper

floor support, a level floor, and a separate • Check code requirements. Some 30-amp. fuse.

• Protect dryer from the weather. Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F. At lower temperatures, the dryer may not shut off at the end of automatic cycles.

Drying times will be extended.

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

Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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

Explosion Hazard

Separate 30-amp. fuse.

Grounded receptacle: Within 2 feet of either

side of dryer.

pounds (includes dryer

and load weight).

Level floor: Maximum allowable slope under entire

dryer- I inch.

RECESSED AREA/CLOSET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Check governing codes and ordinances. This dryer may be installed in a recessed

area or closet. Confined or Recessed Area Installation

Exhausting the dryer outside is recom- -_ mended. The moisture and lint indoors

may cause: * Lint to gather inside and around the

dryer and be a fuel for a fire.

* Moisture damage to woodwork, furni-

ture, paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc. 431/8"

* Housecleaning problems and possible

health problems.

Recessed installation that is not exhausted outside must use Exhaust Deflector Kit Part No. 3391278. This kit is available at your local Sears store --_- or Sears Service Center.

Closet Installation WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

this appliance must be exhausted outdoors when installed in a closet.

B. iNSTALL LEVELING LEGS

Leveling your dryer correctly will reduce operating noise and provide

improved drying performance.

STEP 1. Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton. Place them on

the floor in back of the dryer.

STEP 2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console panel). Gently lay dryer on the cardboard corners.

STEP 3. With one of the legs in hand, check the ridges for a diamond marking.

STEP 5. Now stand the dryer up and

move it close to its final location. Leave

enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

STEP 6. Check levelness of dryer by

placing a level on top of the dryer, first

side-to-side; then front-to-back.

STEP 7. If dryer is not level, prop the dryer up using two stacked cardboard corner posts. Use a wrench to adjust

the legs up or down.

STEP 4. Start to screw the legs into the holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish

turning the legs until diamond marking

is no longer visible. This is when we recommend you start checking the dryer for levelness. Further adjustment may be necessary.

NOTE: It may be necessary to level

the dryer again after it is moved into

its final position.

C.MAKE ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION

It is your responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrical installer.

• To assure that the electrical installation

is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

Copies of the code standards listed above may be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The proper electrical connection ensures a safe installation that

meets local code requirements, A three-wire or four-wire, single

phase 120/240-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, electrical supply (or three-wire or four-wire, 120/208-volt if specified on serial/rating plate) is required on a separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse

or circuit breaker is recommended. This dryer is manufactured with the

3-wire, frame-grounding conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (center) of the wiring harness of the terminal

block. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse

in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in an electrical shock.

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

an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OPTIONS If Your Home Has: A 3-wire electrical

receptacle (NEMA Type 10-30R)

3-wire direct A fused disconnect or 13 - II.

A 4-wire electrical receptacle (NEMA Type 14-30R)

4-wire direct A fused disconnect or 18 - IV.

*If local codes do not permit the connection of a frame-grounding conductor

to the neutral wire, see the instructions on page 15.

Plug into a grounded outlet. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

Local codes may permit the use of a U.L-listed, 120/240-volt minimum, 30-ampere, dryer power supply cord kit (pigtail). Power supply cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least four feet long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end with ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded.

In the event of malfunction or break-

down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path

of least resistance for electric current. The power supply cord must be plugged

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock. Check

with a qualified electrician or serviceman

if your 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.

The dryer can be connected directly to fused disconnect or circuit breaker

box with three-wire, flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable

(with grounding wire). All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

A conduit connector must be installed at

junction box. Allow four feet of slack in the

line so dryer can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance 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

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

STEP 1. Turn power supply off. STEP la. Strip 31/2 inches of outer
