LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
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.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

You will need:
■ A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.
See “Venting Requirements.”
■ A separate 15- or 20-amp circuit needed for gas dryers and
30-amp circuit needed for electric dryers.
■ 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.
■ Level oor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
dryer. If slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), 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.
■ Steam models only: 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 your washer’s
water supply by purchasing the necessary parts noted in
“Parts needed.”
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
45°F (7°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer not to
shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer
drying times.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.

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
white wire) 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
the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the
neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,
(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas
where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductors.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL Listed power supply cord kit marked for use with
clothes dryers. The kit should contain:
■ A UL Listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240
volt minimum, with a temperature rating of 140°F (60°C)
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.
If your outlet looks like this:
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with
ring or spade terminals and UL Listed strain
relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least
4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have 4 10-gauge solid
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of
4-wire
receptacle
(14-30R)
NEMA Type 14-30 R. The ground wire (ground
conductor) may be either green or bare. The
neutral conductor must be identied by a
white cover.
If your outlet looks like this:
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with
ring or spade terminals and UL Listed strain
relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least
4 ft. (1.22 m) long, must have 3 10-gauge solid
copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of
3-wire
receptacle
(10-30R)
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), covered with exible 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.

in “Assistance or Service” section of your “Use and Care Guide.”
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 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
GAS TYPE
Natural Gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is certied
by UL for use with propane gas 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 dealer
or call the phone numbers referenced in the “Assistance or
Service” section of your “Use and Care Guide.”
Propane 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
Option 1 (Recommended Method)
Flexible stainless steel gas connector:
■ If local codes permit, use a new exible stainless steel gas
connector (Design Certied by the American Gas Association
or CSA International) to connect your dryer to the rigid
gas supply line. Use an elbow and a 3/8" are x 3/8" NPT
adapter tting 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
■ Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas
connection to the dryer.
■ 1/2" IPS pipe is recommended.
■ 3/8" approved aluminum or copper tubing is acceptable for
lengths under 20 ft. (6.1 m) if local codes and gas supplier
permit.
■ If you are using Natural gas, do not use copper tubing.
