It is your responsibility

• Tocontact a qualified electrical installer.

• To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in

conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/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.

• To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240-volt,

60-Hz., AC-only electrical supply (or 3 or 4wire, 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.

• 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 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 UL approved 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 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 approved 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.

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

grounded 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 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. De 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.

Determine Vent Length

1o 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 when possible.

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.

A. Over-The-Top installation (also available with one

offset elbow)

B. Periscope installation

NOTE: The following kits for close clearance alternate installations are available for purchase. For further information, please call f-8OO-4-MY-HOME e (1-800-469-4663).

• Over-The-Top Installation: Part Number 26-49999

A. Louvered hood style

B.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.

• 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 following chart 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.

Flexible metal 23 ft (7 m) 15 ft (4.6 m)

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.

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

2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal 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" (10.2 cm) clamp.

4. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. 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" (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" (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.
