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 eiectdc 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 pIug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with al 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 pIug provided with the
dryer: if it wiII not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet insta/ed
by a qualified electrician.

SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS

This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is design-

certified by CSA International for LP (propane or butane) gases
with appropriate conversion.

• Your dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in
your home. Burner information is located on the rating plate
in the door well of your dryer. If this information does not
agree with the type of gas available, contact your local Sears

store or Sears Service Center.

LP gas conversion:

Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas

Gas supply connection requirements

There are many methods by which your gas dryer can be
connected to the gas supply. Listed here are some guidelines for

two different methods of connection.

Option 1 (Recommended method)

Flexible stainless steel gas connector:

• If local codes permit, use a new flexible stainless steel gas
connector (Design Certified by the American Gas Association
or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid gas
supply line. Use an elbow and a %" flare x %" NPT adapter
fitting between the stainless steel gas connector and the
dryer gas pipe, as needed to prevent kinking.

Option 2 (Alternate method)
Approved aluminum or copper tubing:

• Lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m) can use 3/8"approved tubing (if
codes and gas supplier permit).

• If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.

• %" flare x %" NPT adapter fitting between dryer pipe and
%" approved tubing.

• Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a
different size adapter fitting.

• If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, %" LP
compatible copper tubing can be used. If the total length of
the supply line is more than 20 ft (6.1 m), use larger tubing.

NOTE: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON °t tape.

Dryer gas pipe

• The gas pipe that comes out through the rear of your dryer
has a %" male pipe thread.

Burner input requirements
Elevations up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m):

• The design of this dryer is certified by CSA International for
use at altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) above sea level at
the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/serial number plate.
Burner input adjustments are not required when the dryer is
operated up to this elevation.

Elevations above 10,000 ft (3,048 m):

• When installed above 10,000 ft (3,048 m) a 4% reduction of
the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial number
plate is required for each 1,000 ft (305 m) increase in

elevation.

Gas supply pressure testing

• The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during pressure testing at pressures greater than
r/2psi.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metat vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foU vent.
Failure to foUow these instructions can resumt in death

or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used.

DURASAFF Mventing products are recommended and are
available from your local Sears store or Sears Service Center.

Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be
connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices

which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct
tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

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

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,

walIpaper, carpets, etc=

[] Housecleaning problems and health problems=

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and

kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when

the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow
and poor performance.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent 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, etc.).

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. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or

flexible metal vent.

Optional exhaust installations

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.

Fire Hazard

Cover unused exhaust holes with one of the

following kits:

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 90° turns when possible.

The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.

4"

Z4'J:m

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.

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

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 31 ft (9.4 m) 23 ft (7 m)

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.

• Typeof hood.
Recommended hood styles are shown here.

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. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.

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

3. 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.

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. See illustration.

2.

Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel).

For mobile home use

Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor at the time of
installation.

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.

Using a wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the
dryer. Use pipe joint compound on all non-flared male

threads. Ifflexible metal tubing is used, be sure there are
no kinks.

NOTE: For L.R gas connections, you must use pipe joint
compound resistant to the action of L.R gas. Do not use

TEFLON ®ttape.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the

dryer to the existing gas line. Shown following is a
recommended connection. Your connection may be different,

according to the supply line type, size and location.
