NOTE: If installing dryer on pedestal, do not use leveling legs.

Optional Equipment: (Not supplied with dryer)

Refer to your Use and Care Guide for information about

accessories available for your dryer.

Parts needed: (Not supplied with dryer)

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting.

See “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements”

before purchasing parts.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,

installing dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping

quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Leveling legs (4)

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

You will need:

■A location allowing for proper exhaust installation.

See “Venting Requirements.”

■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.

■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 the water supply for your washer using the “Y”

connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.

■20–100 psi (138–690 kPa) for best performance.

■Level oor with 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. 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.

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.

Requirements.”

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.

Cabinet installation (dryer only):

Closet installation (dryer only):

Spacing for recessed area or closet installation

All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, with tested

spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on sides and rear.

■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

installation and servicing.

■Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and

oor moldings.

■Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the

dryer to reduce noise transfer.

■For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation

openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.

Louvered doors with equivalent ventilitation openings are

acceptable.

■Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

■No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same

closet as the dryer.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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 equipment-

grounding 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

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

re, or electrical shock.

WARNING

■120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20- amp fused electrical

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is also recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this dryer be provided.

GAS TYPE

Natural Gas:

This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. It is

design-certied 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 of your Use and Care Guide.

LP Gas Conversion:

IMPORTANT: Conversion must be made by a qualied

technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the dryer from the gas

specied on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different

gas without consulting your gas company.

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 LP, have a qualied person make sure

gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water

column.

Examples of a qualied person include:

■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 tting.

■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®† tape.

■Must include shut-off valve

In the U.S.A.:

An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed within

six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The location should be easy to

reach for opening and closing.

In Canada:

An individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in

accordance with the B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code. It is recommended that an individual

manual shut-off valve be installed within six (6) ft. (1.8 m) of

the dryer. The location should be easy to reach for opening

and closing.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space

of a building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used for

exhausting.

VENTING

■Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps

may be used.

■Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid

crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)

■Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.

■Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may

result in reduced airow and poor performance.

■Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.

■The total length should not exceed 73/4ft. (2.4 m).

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from

entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood

is not plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents

with rigid metal or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System

Charts” and, if necessary, modify existing vent system to

achieve best drying performance.
