messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

Minimum installation spacing for recessed area or closet
installation
The dimensions shown following are for the minimum spacing
allowed.
• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.

Mobile Home-Additional Installation Requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations.
The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and
Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the Canadian Manufactured
Home Standard, CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
• Metal exhaust system hardware which is available for
purchase from your dealer.
• Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to
introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a
nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer
exhaust opening.
In Canada
To supply the required 4-wire, single phase, 115/230-volt, 60-
Hz., AC-only electrical supply 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.
This dryer is equipped with a CSA International Certified
Power Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-30R
wall receptacle. The cord is 5ft (1.52 m) in length. Be sure wall
receptacle is within reach of dryer's final location.
4-wire receptacle 14-30R
• Do not use an extension cord.
If using a replacement power supply cord, it is recommended that
you use Power Supply Cord Replacement Part Number 9831317.
For further information, please reference the service numbers
located in your "Dryer User Instructions."
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
m For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. Hnthe 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
instailed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNmNG: 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
properiy 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.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
Emectrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 4 prong outlet.
Failure to do so can result in death or emectrical shock.
It is your responsibility
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-1atest
edition and all local codes. A copy of the above codes
standard may be obtained from: Canadian Standards
Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3
CANADA.
In the U.S.A.
It is your responsibility
• To contact 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.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
Tosupply 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.
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:
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, 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
m For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. Hnthe event of maIfunction 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 properiy installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
m 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.
WARNmNG: Hmproper 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 on the power
suppiy cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
4-wire receptacle (14-30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade

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.
