DRYER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including

the following:

•Read all instructions before

using the dryer.

• Do not place items exposed to

cooking oils in your dryer. Items

contaminated with cooking oils

may contribute to a chemical

reaction that could cause a load

to catch fire.

•Do not dry articles that have

been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted

with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, other flammable, or

explosive substances as they

give off vapors that could ignite

or explode.

•Do not allow children to play on

or in the dryer. Close supervision

of children is necessary when

the dryer is used near children.

•Before the dryer is removed from

service or discarded, remove the

door to the drying compartment.

•Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

•Do not install or store the dryer

where it will be exposed to the

weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any

part of the dryer or attempt any

servicing unless specifically

recommended in this Owner

’

Manual or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand

and have the skills to carry out.

•Do not use fabric softeners or

products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer

of the fabric softener or product.

•Do not use heat to dry articles

containing foam rubber or similarly

textured rubber-like materials.

•Clean lint screen before or after

each load.

•Keep area around the exhaust

opening and adjacent surrounding

areas free from the accumulation

of lint, dust, and dirt.

•The interior of the dryer and

exhaust vent should be cleaned

periodically by qualified service

personnel.

•See Installation Instructions for

grounding requirements.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Installation Instructions

Read the “Dryer Safety” section of your dryer’s Use and Care guide, and completely read

these installation instructions before beginning installation.

Before starting installation

•Check location where dryer will be

in-stalled. Proper installation is your

responsibility. The dryer must not be

installed or stored in an area where it will

be exposed to water and/or weather.

Make sure you have everything necessary

for correct installation.

•Grounded electrical supply is required.

See “Electrical requirements.”

•Four-inch metal exhaust vent is

required. See “Exhaust requirements.”

•Check code requirements: Some codes

do not permit or limit installation of clothes

dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes,

or sleeping quarters. Contact your local

building inspector.

•Protection from the weather: Proper

operation of dryer cycles requires

temperatures above 45°F, or the dryer

may not shut off when automatic cycles

are used.

➤

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors,

such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm)

above the floor for a garage

installation.

Failure to do so can result in death,

explosion, or fire.

•Support: Floor must be sturdy enough to

support a total weight of 115 pounds

(includes dryer and load weight).

•Location: Must be large enough to fully

open dryer door. See “Recessed area and

closet installation” for minimum spacing

requirements.

•Level floor: 1-in maximum slope under

entire dryer.

How to install your dryer

Now that you’ve unpacked your dryer, check

to be sure you have removed the parts bag

from the drum. Remove the tape that holds

the drum to the cabinet. Move the drum by

hand to make certain all tape has been

removed. Next, wipe the interior of the drum

thoroughly with a damp cloth before using

the dryer.

To install your dryer, you will need the tools

shown. All the parts you need are packed in

the appliance. When you take them out,

place them on a cloth so you won’t lose

them.

1. Take two of the cardboard corners from

the carton. Place them on the floor in back

of the dryer.

2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer. Gently

lay dryer on the cardboard corners.

3. Start to screw the legs into the holes by

hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the

legs. They should stick out about 1 inch.

4. Now stand the dryer up and move it close

to its final location. Leave enough room to

connect the exhaust vent.

5. Check levelness of dryer by placing a level

on top of the dryer, first side-to-side; then

front-to-back.

6. If dryer is not level, prop the dryer up

using two stacked cardboard corner posts.

Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or

down.

NOTE: It may be necessary to level the

dryer again after it is moved into its final

position.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and

install dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or

other injury.

Installing the leveling legs

Leveling your dryer correctly will reduce

operating noise and provide improved drying

performance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3977625v09c27 4/1/99 4:45 PM Page 7

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Requirements

A three-wire or four-wire, single phase

120/240-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, electrical

supply is required on a separate 30-ampere

circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A

time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended.

This dryer is manufactured with the 3-wire,

frame-grounding conductor connected to the

NEUTRAL (center) of the wiring harness of

the terminal block. Do not have a fuse in the

neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the

neutral or grounding circuit could result in an

electrical shock.

Use a 4-conductor cord when the dryer is

installed in a mobile home or an area where

local codes do not permit grounding through

the neutral.

If Your Home Has:

3-wire electrical

receptacle

(NEMA Type 10-30R)

3-wire direct

4-wire electrical

receptacle

(NEMA Type 14-30R)

4-wire direct

A U.L.-listed, 120/240-volt

minimum, 30-amp., dryer

power supply cord.*

A fused disconnect or

circuit breaker box.*

A U.L.-listed, 120/240-volt

minimum, 30-amp., dryer

power supply cord.

A fused disconnect or

circuit breaker box.

And You Will Be

Connecting To:

Electrical Connection Options

*If local codes do not permit the connection of a frame-grounding conductor to the neutral wire, see the

instructions for “Alternate Connection”.

Three-Wire Electrical Connection to Receptacle

•Do not use an extension cord with

this dryer.

•Do not connect plug end of power supply

cord into a live receptacle before

connecting power supply cord to dryer

terminal block.

Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-

listed, 120/240-volt minimum, 30-ampere,

dryer power supply cord kit (pigtail). Power

supply cord should be type SRD or SRDT

and be at least four feet long. The wires that

connect to the dryer must end with ring

terminals or spade terminals with upturned

ends.

•The power supply cord must have three,

No.-10 copper wires to match a three-wire

receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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. The power

supply cord 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 qualified electrician or

serviceman if you are in doubt as to

whether the appliance is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug on the

power supply cord. If it will not fit the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Disconnect power.

2. Remove hold-down screw and terminal

block cover.

3. Attach a 3⁄4-inch, U.L.-listed, strain relief to

the hole below terminal block opening.
