Dryer Rack Installation Instructions

Open the door.

Put the dryer rack into

Hold the dryer rack

the drum

with both hands.

 

Check and be sure that the front of the rack is properly seated behind the lint filter.

Review the following options to determine the appropriate electrical connection for your home:

4-wire receptacle (NEMA type14-30R)

Use the instructions under option 1 if your home homehas a 4-wire receptacle (NEMA type 14-30R).

3-wire receptacle (NEMA type10-30R)

Use the instructions under option 2 or 3 if your home has a 3-wire receptacle (NEMA type 10-30R). Use option 2 if local codes and ordinances permit the connection of a chassis ground to the neutral connector. If this is not permitted, use option 3.

Option 1: 4-wire connection with a Power supply cord.

If your local codes or ordinances do not allow the use of a 3 wire connection, or you are installing your dryer in a mobile home, you must use a 4- wire connection.

1.Connect the neutral wire (white) of the power cord to the center terminal block screw.

2.Connect the red and black wires to the left and right terminal block screws.

3.Connect the ground wire (green) of the power cord to the external ground screw. Remove the neutral ground wire of appliance and connect it to center screw.

4.Make sure that the strain relief screw is tightened

and that all terminal block nuts are tight and the

7power cord is in the right position.

Option 2: 3-Wire Connection with a Power Supply Cord

lf your local codes or ordinances permit the connection of a frame-grounding conductor to the neutral wire, use these instructions. If your local codes or ordinances do not allow the connection of a frame-grounding conductor to the neutral wire, use the instructions under Section 3: Optional

3-wire connection.

1.Connect the neutral (white or center) wire (B) to the center, silver colored, screw (A) and tighten securely.

2.Connect the other two power cord wires (red and black) to the left and right terminal block screws and tighten securely.

3.Tighten the strain relief screws (C) securely.

3-2. Connect Gas Supply Pipe (Gas Dryer ONLY)

For further assistance, refer to section on Gas Requirements.

1.Make certain your dryer is equipped for use with the type of gas in your laundry room. Dryer is equipped at the factory for natural gas with a 3/8” N.P.T. gas connection.

2.Remove the shipping cap from the gas connection at the rear of the dryer. Make sure you do not damage the pipe thread when removing the cap.

3.Connect to gas supply pipe using a new flexible stainless steel connector.

4.Tighten all connections securely. Turn on gas and check all pipe connections (internal & external) for gas leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid.

5.For LP (Liquefied Petroleum) gas connection, refer to section on Gas Requirements.
