Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage Installation.
Failure to do so can result In death, explosion, or fire.
You will need
■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas
dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See “Venting
Requirements.”
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (61 cm) of
either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of
127 lbs (57.6 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire
dryer. (If slope is greater than 1" [2,5 cm], install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part No. 279810.) Clothes may not tumble
properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate
correctly if dryer is not level.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At
lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an
automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and
floor moldings.
■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the
dryer to reduce noise transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Fouvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

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 is equipped with 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.
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 provided with the
dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building.
■ Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid or flexible
heavy metal vent.
■ Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if
necessary to achieve the best drying performance.
If this is a new vent system

dealer. For further information, please call
1-800-4-MY-HOME® (1 -800-469-4663) or visit our website at
www.sears.com.
Rigid metal vent
■ For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are
recommended.
■ Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and
kinking.
Flexible meta! vent
■ Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for
cleaning.
■ Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported
when the dryer is in its final location.
■ Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and
kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor
performance.
■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or
floors.
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
If using an existing vent system
Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure
exhaust hood is not plugged with lint.

Clamps
■ Use clamps to seal all joints.
■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the
duct. Do not use duct tape.

Exhaust
Recommended hood styles are shown here.
A. Louvered hood style
B. Box hood style
The angled hood style (shown here) is acceptable.
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,

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.
This dryer can be converted to exhaust out the right side, left
side, or through the bottom. Contact your local dealer to have the
dryer converted.
A. Standard rear offset exhaust Installation
B. Left or right side exhaust installation
C. Bottom exhaust installation (not an option
with pedestal installations)
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.
11
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.

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more peopie to move and instail dryer.
Faiiure to do so can resuit in back or other injury.
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.
