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 A power supply cord, rated 120/240 V
minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and
be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Check codes requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,
installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
You will need:
■ A separate 30 A circuit.
■ If using a 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 forward slope is greater than 1" (25 mm), water could
run out from front of lter. 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.
■ The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it
will be exposed to water and/or weather.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate, install, or store dryer where
it will be exposed to water, weather, or at temperatures below
40°F (4°C). Lower temperatures may cause dryer to not
shut off at end of automatic sensor cycles, resulting in longer
drying times.

the hose at the end of the U-bend for the oor drain system
as shown in the picture above.
NOTE: Cut hose so that no more than 4.5" (114 mm) of the hose
is in the oor drain to avoid siphoning.
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. The green ground wire of the 4-wire power cord
must be secured to the dryer cabinet with the green
ground screw.
■ If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral
ground wire to the neutral wire, see the “Optional External
Ground for 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 after
1996, (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 A power supply cord, rated 120/240 V
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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS –
U.S.A. ONLY
It is your responsibility:
■ To contact a qualied 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 requires 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:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
■ To supply the required 3- or 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240 V,
60 Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or 3- or 4-wire, 120/208 V
electrical supply, if specied on the serial/rating plate) on a
separate 30 A circuit, fused on both sides of the line. 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 qualied electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
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 four 10-gauge
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of
NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground
4-wire receptacle
(14-30R)
3-wire receptacle
(10-30R)
conductor) may be either green or bare. The
neutral conductor must be identied by a white
cover.
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 three 10-gauge
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 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.

ELECTRIC DRYER POWER
HOOKUP – CANADA ONLY
■ To supply the required 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240 V,
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 Certied
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 nal 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 8579325.
For further information, please reference the “Assistance or
Service” section of the 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
It is your responsibility:
■ To contact a qualied 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.
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.
