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 follow
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.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNUNG: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
m Read all instructions before using the dryer.
m Do not ptace items exposed to cooking oiIs in your dryer.
items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to
a chemicat reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
m Do not 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.

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.
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire supply
connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved
in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
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.
![](/html/9d/9de7/9de7ecd9caf8aaebf973c7467bcdc0b3fe5244b2ac6fa0ece1f8561d6f8c4b91/bg7.png)
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, 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 green cabinet-grounding
conductor 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 green cabinet-
grounding conductor must be removed from the external
ground conductor screw (green screw), and secured under
the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal
block. When the green cabinet-grounding conductor 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 cabinet
ground conductor to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire
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 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 3, 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.
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.
If your outlet looks like this:
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 4, 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
m 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 uses a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The piug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with aiI local codes and ordinances.
i For a permanently connected dryer:
This 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 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 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.

Power Supply Cord Direct Wire
Use 10 gauge somidcopper wire.
Use a UL misted strain relief.
Disconnect power before making emectricamconnections.
Connect neutram wire (white or center wire) to center
terminal (silver).
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to
green ground connector.
Connect remaining 2 suppmy wires to remaining
2 termina_s (gored).
SecureBy tighten amlemectrical connections.
Failure to do so can resuJt in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be
connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices
which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct
tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
improper venting can cause moisture and lint to cotlect
indoors, which may resumt in:
[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,
wallpaper, carpets, etc=
[] Housecleardng problems and health problems.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent
