IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIRED ELECTRk ClAN OR SERVICETECHNICIAN INSTALLYOUR DRYER.

LOCATION

This clothes dryer is designed so that it can be installed in most locations in the home. The dryer may even be installed in an unheated indoor location, such as a utility room or building. However, with models hav- ing automatic dry cycles, the TIME DRY SETTING

SHOULD BE USED WHEN THE ROOM TEMPERA-

TURE DROPS BELOW 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT

OR (10 DEGREES C.), AS THE AUTOMATIC CYCLE

MAY NOT SHUT OFF.

DO NOT INSTALL THE DRYER ON A CARPETED

FLOOR.

DO NOT INSTALL OR STORE THE DRYER WHERE

IT MAY BE EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER OR DRIP-

PING WATER. IF IT IS EVER EXPOSED TO WATER,

HAVE A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN CHECK IT

BEFORE USING.

THE INSTALLATION MUST BE MADE WITH ADEQUATE

CLEARANCE TO PERMIT SERVICING.

In ordinary installations enough air will be available for prop- er operation of the dryer. However, if the dryer is installed in a mobile home, a closet or a tightly sealed room, provisions should be made for at least 18 square inches of ventilation

Dryers installed in manufactured (mobile) homes must be connected with 4 conductor type SRD or SRDT cord to a 3

pole, 4 wire grounding type receptacle; by metal-clad cable; or suitable conductors enclosed in flexible metal conduit. If

using metal-clad cable or flexible conduit, leave at least 3

feet free to permit moving the dryer.

Where permitted by local codes, a flexible power cord (pig- tail) may be connected to the dryer. A receptacle should be installed in a separate circuit connected to the main service entrance panel for this type of installation. See Figure #3.

Use only a 3 or 4 wire power cord kit, includingstrain relief,

listed by U.L. for use with dryers. The power cord must have a rating of 30 amperes, 120/240 voltsAC minimum and be terminated in closed loop or open spade lugs with upturned

ends. The attachment plugof the power cord and the recep- tacle to which it willbe connected must have a minimum cur-

rent rating of 30 amps and have matching configurations. Typical30 ampere configurations are illustrated in figure #3.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED METAL PERMANENT WIRING SYSTEM; or an equipment- groundingconductormust be run with the circuitconductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Exhausting can be accomplished directly from the rear of the cabinet, through right side of the cabinet, or down- ward through the cabinet base. If your existing ductwork is plastic, nonmetal, or combustible, replace it with METAL. Standard four inch diameter galvanized or aluminum pipe should be used. DO NOT use any pipe which may be sus-

ceptible to rust or COMBUSTION. To avoid catching lint

the crimped end of each pipe section should face away extend into the exhaust pipe or duct.

Flexible 4" diameter metal tubing may be used for exhausting the dryer. However, the convolutions create a

When the dryer stops the damper automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To

avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum 8 inch clearance between the hood and the ground or other

obstruction.

BOTTOM EXHAUSTING

If space permits behind the dryer, a 4" elbow pointeddown-

ward may be used to pass the exhaust system through the floor. If this is not possible, the dryer may be exhausted

through the bottom as illustrated in FIG. #7. When exhaust-

ing in this manner, the installation should be made accord- ing to the following steps:

1. Disconnect electric cord.

2. Raise the top of the dryer by pressing in with a putty knife on the top panel retaining clips. FIG. #5.

A 4" metal exhaust pipe must be purchased. The rear exhaust pipe inside the dryer must then be shortened. (Length will depend on type of elbow purchased.) Secure the shortened pipe to

the Blower Housing with a screw at the top, attach elbow and metal exhaust pipe, and seal all joints with tape or silicone

bathtub caulk.
