You will need:
A location allowing for proper exhaust installation. ■
See “Venting Requirements.”
If using power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet ■
located within 2 ft. (610 mm) of either side of dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
Floor must support dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg). ■
Also consider weight of companion appliance.
Cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the water ll ■
valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).
You may use the water supply for your washer using the “Y”
connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.
20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance. ■
Level oor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire ■
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), install Extended
Dryer Feet Kit, Part Number 279810. If not level, clothes
may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly.
For garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (460 mm) ■
above oor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm)
to bottom of dryer.
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease
of installation and servicing; spacing for companion appliances
and clearances for walls, doors, and oor moldings. Space
must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing
on all sides of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door
or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings
in door are required.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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 equipmentgrounding 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 qualied 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 t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
re, or electrical shock.

not agree with the type of gas available, contact your dealer
or call the phone numbers referenced in the “Assistance or
Service” section of your Use and Care Guide.
LP Gas Conversion:
IMPORTANT: Conversion must be made by a qualied
technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas
specied on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting your gas company.
GAS SUPPLY LINE

permit.
If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing. ■
Lengths over 20 ft. (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and ■
a different size adapter tting.
If your dryer has been converted to use LP gas, 3/8" 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 pipe.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
Must include shut-off valve ■
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within
six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The location should be easy to
reach for opening and closing.
In Canada:
An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in
accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual
manual shutoff valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of
the dryer. The location should be easy to reach for opening

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used for
exhausting.
Exhaust hoods:
Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object ■
that may obstruct exhaust (such as owers, rocks, bushes,
or snow).
Recommended styles:
A. Louvered hood
B. Box hood
Acceptable styles:
C. Angled hood
Elbows:
45° elbows provide better airow than 90° elbows. ■
Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust ■
vent and clamps may be used.
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. ■
Rigid metal vent:
Recommended for best drying performance and to prevent ■
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location. ■
Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may ■
result in reduced airow and poor performance.
Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors. ■
The total length should not exceed 7 ■
3
/4 ft. (2.4 m).
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or
exible metal vents. Review Vent system chart and if necessary,
modify existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.
Good Better
Clamps:
Use clamps to seal all joints. ■
Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws ■
or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct
and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
