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 it on its back on the card-

board corners.

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

STEP 4. Start to screw the legs into the

holes by hand. Use an adjustable wrench

or other type wrench to finish turning the

legs until you reach the diamond marking. Later adjustment may be needed.

STEP 5. Now stand the dryer up. Slide dryer onto cardboard and move dryer

close to its final location. Leave enough

room to connect the exhaust duct.

STEP 6. Remove cardboarcl from under dryer. Check levelness of dryer by placing

level on top of the dryer, first side-to-side, then front-to-back. If dryer is not level, adjust thE: legs up or down. It may be

necessary, Io level the dryer after it is moved into its final position.

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 National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The proper electrical connection ensures a safe installation that

meets local code requirements.

WARNING: This appliance 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 is manufactured with the 3-wire frame-grounding conductor conaected to

the NEUTRAL (center) of the wiring har- ness of the terminal block. Do Not have

a fuse in tlqe neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit

could result in an electrical shock.

If local codes do not permit this type of conneciion, we recommend a "Four-Wire Connection;'

A three-wire or four-wire, .,;ingle 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 c_ircuit breaker

is recommended. A wiring diagram is located inside the

console.
