DRYER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
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
DANGER
WARNING
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
happen if the instructions are not followed.

etal exhaust system hardware
available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased
your dryer. For further information, please refer to the “Assistance
or Service” section in your Use and Care Gui
de.
Optional Equipment
Refer to your Use and Care guide for information about the

(565 mm)
You will need
■ A location that allows proper exhaust installation. See “Venting
Requirements.”
■ A separate 30-amp circuit.
■ If using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet
within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of dryer. See “Electrical
quirements.”
Re
■ A sturdy floor to support total dryer weight of 200 lbs. (90.7 kg).
Also consider combined weight of a companion appliance.
■ A level floor 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. Clothes may not tumble properly
and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is
not level.
■ For a garage installation, place dryer at least 18" (457 mm)
above floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (457 mm) to
bottom of dryer.
■ Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within
4 ft. (1.2 m) of dryer, and water
pressure of 20-100 psi
(137.9-689.6 kPa). Cold water supply may come from
washer using “Y” connector provided.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatur
es below 45ºF (7ºC). At
lower temperatures, the dryer may not shut off at the end of an
automatic sensor cycle, possibly resulting in longer drying times.
Do not install or store dryer where it
will be exposed to water and/or
weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or
do not permit,
installation of dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Installation clearances
Location must be large enough to allow dryer door to open fully.
Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer.
Dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on sides
d rear. Consider recommended spacing for following reasons:
an
■ Consider additional spacing for ease of installation and service.
■ May need additional clearance for wall, door, and floor moldings.
■ Consider additional spacing on all sides of dryer to reduce noise
transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings
in the top and bottom of the door are required. Equivalent
ventilation openings in louvered doors are acceptable.
■ Consider spacing for companion appliance.
■ Additional space required for rear exhaust of dryer to right or left.

Mobile home - Additional installation requirements
Dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. Installation must
conform to Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/
CSA-Z240 MH.
Mobile home installations require:
■ Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase from
your dealer.
■ Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce
outside air into dryer. Openings (such as a nearby window)
should be at least twice as large as dryer exhaust opening.

ELECTRIC DRYER POWER HOOKUP
Electrical Requirements
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.
The National Electrical Code requir
es a 4-wire power 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:
Nat
ional 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 4 wire, 120/208 volt
elect
rical 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
t
o 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 neutral ground 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 neutral ground conductor must be
removed from the external ground connector (green screw),
and secured under the neutral terminal (center or w
of the terminal block. When the neutral ground 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 neutral ground
wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection”
section.
■ A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when
the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through
neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through
the
the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-cir
(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where
l codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.
loca
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes
yers. The kit should contain:
dr
■ A UL listed 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 listed strain relief.

WARNING
Style 1: Power supply cord strain relief
■ Remove screws from a 3/4" (19 mm) UL listed strain relief
(UL marking on strain relief). Put tabs of the two clamp
sections into hole below terminal block opening so that
one tab is pointing up and the other is pointing down, and
hold in place. Tighten strain relief screws enough to hold two
clamp sections together.

Fire Hazard
Use a new UL listed 30 amp power supply cord.
Use a UL listed strain relief.
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center
terminal (silver).
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to
green ground connector.
Connect remaining 2 supply wires to remaining
2 terminals (gold).
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Failure to do so can result in death, re, or
electrical shock.
