E eoy cs Requ e sts

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.

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.

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

connection" in the "Electrical Connection" section. 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 a4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground wire 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 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. A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the

appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral

conductors.

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 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

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 plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

m 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.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as

flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,

carpets, etc.

[] Housecleaning problems and health problems.

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 following Vent system chart 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.

Vent system chart

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one

90° turn to the chart.

Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) 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.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge

of the dryer.

2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer. Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illustration.

Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the

dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is

clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured

to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner posts and cardboard.

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for

levelness.
