If your outlet looks like this:

It isyour responsibility

• Tocontact aqualified 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, Batterymaroh Park,

Quincy, MA 02269.

• To supply 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 cabinet ground connector to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire connection" section.

• This dryer is manufactured with a 3-wire, cabinet-ground conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (white or center wire) of the wiring harness at the terminal block.

• 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.

3-wire receptacle (10-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL approved strain relief. The 3-wire power supply

cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 3, No.-10 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 non-metallic 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 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 ground-

ed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• 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 equip- ment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.

If using a power supply cord: Use a UL approved power supply cord kit marked for use with

clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

• A UL approved 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 ULapproved 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 approved strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 4, 10 gauge solid 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.

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 net modify the plug on the power supply cord: if it will net fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Special provisions for mobile home installations

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible

portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine Vent Length

1. 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. Avoid 99° turns.

2. Determine vent length The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:

• The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).

• The number of elbows used.

• Type of hood.

Recommended hood styles are shown here.

(10.2 cm)

1.Louvered hood style

2. Box hood style

The angled hood style (shown following} is acceptable.

See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

Exhaust systems longer than specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer. _.............. _H,_,.,_¢_4'>

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

3. Determine the number of elbows you will need. IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in

the Vent Length Chart. The chart below helps you determine your maximum vent

length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will

need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood that you will use.

3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add 1

90° turn to the chart.

1. (Optional) Put on safety glasses and gloves.

2, Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to eeal exterior

wall opening around exhaust hood.

3. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust

hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4 in. (10.2 cm) clamp.

4, Run vent to dryer lecation. Use the straightest path peesible.

See "Determine Vent Length." 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.

4, 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 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.

6, Once connection is made and dryer is in final location,

remove 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. NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it has

been moved into its final position.

1. Using a 4 in. (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. Make sure the vent is secured

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

2. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

3. (On gas models) Check to be sure there are no kinks in the

flexible gas line.

You can change your door swing from a right-side opening to a

left-side opening, if desired.

Remove the door

1. Place a towel or soft cloth on top of the dryer or work space

to protect the surface.

2. Open the dryer door. Remove the 5 screws that hold the door

hinge on the front panel of the dryer. Loosen, but do not remove, the screw with the top keyhole opening LAST (2nd from the top).
