Parts needed

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting. See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements” before purchasing parts.
Mobile home installations require m
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 Guide.

Optional Equipment

Refer to your Use and Care guide for information about the accessories available for your dryer.

Location Requirements

Dryer Dimensions
D
A

You will need

■ A location that allows 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 you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical
outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs
(90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.
■ A level floor with a 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, you will need to place the dryer at least
18" (460 mm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18" (460 mm) to the bottom of the dryer.
■ Steam models only: Cold water faucets located within
4 ft (1.2 m) of the dryer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa). You may use the cold water supply from your washer using the “Y” connector provided.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatur
es below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic sensor cycle. This can result in longer drying times.
The dryer must not be installed or st
ored in an area where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather. 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.
No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same
NOTE: closet as a dryer.

Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully.

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the sides an following reasons:
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor
■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

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 Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-latest 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.
■ To supply the required 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt,
60 Hz., AC only electrical supply on a separate 30-amp circuit, f
used 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 5 ft (1.52 m) in length. Be sure wall receptacle is within reach of dryer’s final location.

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 qualied 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 qualied electrician.

GAS DRYER POWER HOOKUP

Gas Supply Requirements

■ 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 a shutoff valve:
®†
tape.
In the U.S.A.:
An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within six (6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in
accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
In Canada:
An individual manual shutof six(6) feet (1.8 m) of the dryer in
f valve must be installed within
accordance with the B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
The location should be easy to reach for opening and closing.

Gas Type

Natural gas:

This dryer is equipped for use with Natu
ral 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 dealer or call the phone numbers referenced in the “Assistance or Service” section.
LP gas conversion: Conversion must be made by a qualified technician.
No attempt shall be made to con
vert the appliance from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting your gas company.
Gas supply line
■ Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping accessible
for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas con
nection to the dryer. See illustration.
■ 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.
■ Lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m) should use larger tubing and a
different size adapter fitting.
Gas supply connection requirements
■ Use an elbow and a 3/8" flare x 3/8" NPT adapter fitting
between the flexible gas connector and the dryer gas pipe, as needed to avoid kinking.
■ Use only pipe-joint compound. Do not use TEFLON
■ This dryer must be connected to the gas supply line with a listed
®†
tape.
flexible gas connector that complies with the standard for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
Burner input requirements

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

■ When installed above 10,000 ft (3,048 m) a 4% reduction of the
burner Btu 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 1/2 psi.
