Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't foUow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARN|NG - -.i k ofFifo,,

- Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified insta(ler.

- Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

- Do not insta(I a c(othes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal

(foil type) duct. if flexible meta( duct is insta((ed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting

materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will

obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

- Save these instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTIONS

WAR NING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer. [] Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

[] Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer/dryer is used near children.

[] Before the washer/dryer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the doors to the washer/dryer compartments.

[] Do not reach into the washer/dryer if the tub, agitator or

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, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Tosupply 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 Laundry Center, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground wire must be removed from the internal ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral

conductor.

• If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire connection" in "Electrical Connection" section.

• 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 listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

• A UL listed 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 listed strain relief.

Ifyouroutletlookslikethis:

4-wire receptacle (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge 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 listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge 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 nonmetallic 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 washer/dryer:

This washer/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 washer/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 grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

[] For a permanently connected washer/dryer:

This washer/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 equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the washer/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 washer/dryer

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.

Fire Hazard

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

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

or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this Laundry Center

MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

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

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 or flexible heavy metal vent.

Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best drying performance. Only rigid

or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.

If this is a new vent system

Flexible metal vent

• Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the Laundry Center is in its final location.

Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor

performance. Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,

or floors.

• The total length of flexible metal vent should not exceed 73Aft (2.4 m).

Elbows

45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.

Oonn Hose

Proper connection of the drain hose avoids damage to your floors due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from coming

off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions:

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.

1. Check drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.

2. Wet inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap water. IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.

3. Squeeze ears of the silver, double-wire clamp with pliers to open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose 1/4" (6.4 mm) from the end.

2. Check adjustability of rear legs by pushing in one leg. The other leg should come out. Check both legs. If they do not

move freely, repeat Step 1.

Install front leveling legs

1. Examine front leveling legs, find diamond marking.

2. Screw front legs by hand, into holes in triangular braces in front corners. Use wrench to finish turning the legs until

diamond marking is no longer visible.

3. Gently stand Laundry Center upright.

4. Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto drain connector on the side of the Laundry Center. Continue until hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet.

5. Place clamp over the area marked "CLAMR" Release clamp.

....................................

A.Drain hoseform

2. Put the hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe. Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

• Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

• Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Connect inlet hoses to washer

1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve. Attaching the hot water hose first makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers.

2. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp.

Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See "Determine vent path" in "Plan Vent System." 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. Items sticking through the vent can catch lint.

Determine vent path

• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.

• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

• Use the fewest 90° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance

• Use the Vent system chart below to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those

specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance.

Oo_x_ec¢ st

1. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in Laundry Center. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the
