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. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See "Venting

Requirements."

• 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 dryer with a total weight (dryer and load) of 200 Ibs (90.7 kgs).

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. 279819.) Clothes may not

tumble properly and dryers 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. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will

be exposed to water and/or weather.

installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the

same closet as a dryer.

Installation Clearances

behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See

"Venting Requirements."

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.

• 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 is equipped with 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 provided with the dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make

sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (33 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include:

licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and

authorized service personnel. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

Gas Type

Natural Gas:

This dryer is equipped for use with NATURAL GAS. It is design- certified by CSA International for L.R (propane or butane) gases

with appropriate conversion.

• Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate

in the door well of your dryer. If this information does not

agree with the type of gas available, contact your local Sears store or Sears Service Center.

LP. gas conversion:

Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

Gas supply connection requirements There are many methods by which your gas dryer can be

connected to the gas supply. Listed here are some guidelines for two different methods of connection.

Option 1 (Recommended Method):

Flexible stainless steel tubing:

• If local codes permit, use flexible stainless steel tubing (Design Certified by the American Gas Association or CSA

International) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas supply line. Use an elbow and a % in. flare x % in. NPT adapter fitting between the stainless steel tubing and the dryer gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.

Option 2 (Alternate Method): Approved aluminum or copper tubing:

• Lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) can use 3/8in. approved tubing (if codes and gas supplier permit).

• If you are using natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

• % in. flare x % in. NPT adapter fitting between dryer pipe and % in. approved tubing

• Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a different size adapter fitting.

• If your dryer has been converted to use L.R gas, % in. L.R compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger pipe.

NOTE: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of L.R gas

must be used. Do not use TEFLON _ tape.

Dryer Gas Pipe

• The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer

has a 3/8in. male pipe thread.

Gas Supply Line:

• 1/2in. IPS pipe is recommended.

• 3/8in. approved tubing is acceptable for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier permit.

• Must include 1/8in. NPT plugged tapping, immediately

upstream of the gas connection (see illustration).
