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
drum is moving.
[] Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
[] Do not tamper with controls. [] Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
[] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in
a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for such a period, before using
the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
[] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in
this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

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.
