120/208 Volt, 30 Amp, 60 Hertz, 1 phase
electrical supply.
●GAS DRYER
Dryer needs a 120 Volt, 15 Amp, 60 Hertz,
polarized 3-slot effectively grounded receptacle.
NOTE: For more detailed information, refer to
Section on Electrical Requirements.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent and is to be replaced
by a qualified service person.
Gas
Dryer is equipped for Natural Gas with a 3/8 inch NPT
gas supply connection. For more detailed information,
refer to Section on Gas Requirements.

Installing the Dryer
Step 1: Position and Level the Dryer
For further assistance refer to Section on Location
Requirements.
Install dryer before washer. This allows room for
attaching exhaust duct.
Place the dryer in position, and adjust the legs until the
dryer is level from side to side and front to back.
Figure 3
Step 2: Connect Dryer Exhaust System
For further assistance refer to Sections on Location
Requirements and Dryer Exhaust Requirements.
●DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.
●Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as
possible.
●Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing
your new dryer.
●Use 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or flexible
metal duct.
●The male end of each section of duct must point
away from the dryer.
●Use as few elbows as possible.
●Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints.
●Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must
be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint
build-up on pipe walls.
●Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void
warranty.

4. Tighten all connections securely. Turn on gas and
check all pipe connections (internal & external)
for gas leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid.
5. For L.P. (propane) gas connection, refer to
Section on Gas Requirements.

Heat Source Check
Electric Dryers
Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat
setting (refer to the Operating Instructions supplied
with the dryer). After the dryer has operated for three
minutes, the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be
warm.
Gas Dryers
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front
panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting
(refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the
dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red
and the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If
this happens, after approximately two minutes
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to
the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
4. Reinstall the lower front panel.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.
Figure 13
For personal safety, lower front panel must
be in place during normal operation. W046

Manufactured (Mobile) Home
Installation
The dryer can be installed in a manufactured (mobile)
home by following these instructions:
1. IMPORTANT: Gas dryers MUST be
permanently attached to the floor at the time
of installation. Order No. 526P3 Dryer
Installation Kit for a manufactured (mobile)
home installation. Follow the instructions
supplied with the kit.
2. Electrical Connections (Electric Dryer Only)
must be a 4-wire connection, refer to page 19.
3. Venting – Dryer MUST be exhausted to the
outdoors.
●The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors
through the back, left, right or bottom panel. Gas
dryers cannot be exhausted out the left side
because of the burner housing.
●The dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the
mobile home structure.
●Exhaust ducts MUST NOT be connected with
sheet metal screws or fasteners which extend into
the duct.
●Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other
duct, vent or chimney.
●Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under
the mobile home.
●For proper operation, it is important that the dryer
has an ample amount of outside make-up air. The
free area of any opening for the introduction of
outside air must be at least 25 in2(163 cm2).
●When exhausting the dryer to the outdoors, the
dryer can be installed with “0” inch clearance at
the sides and rear. Clearance of the duct from
combustible construction must be a minimum of
2 inches (5.08 cm).
●Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer
(obtain locally).
IMPORTANT: Installation must conform to
the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80
or Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation, the dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS. Refer to
Section on Dryer Exhaust Requirements. W047
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, the exhaust duct
and weather hood MUST be fabricated of a
material that will not support combustion.
Rigid or flexible metal pipe is recommended
for a clothes dryer. W048

(120/208 Volt, 60 Hertz, 3-Wire Installation)
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located inside the
control hood.
Grounding Instructions
●This dryer must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system; or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
dryer.
●The dryer has its own terminal block that must be
connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz, single
phase circuit, AC (alternating current) circuit,
fused at 30 Amperes (the circuit must be fused
on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL
SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE
OF MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE LISTED
ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT
CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115, OR
120 VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating elements are
available for field installation in dryers which are
to be connected to electrical service of different
voltage than that listed on nameplate, such as
208 Volt.
●If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m)
or less in length, use U.L. (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No. 10 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. If over
fifteen feet (4.50 m), use U.L. (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No. 8 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow
sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved
from its normal location when necessary.
●The power cord (pigtail) connection between
wall receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT
supplied with dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge
of wire must conform to local codes and with
instructions mentioned on the following pages.
●The method of wiring the dryer is optional and
subject to local code requirements. Refer to
examples on next page.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death, all wiring and
grounding MUST conform with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1, and such local
regulations as might apply. It is the
customer’s responsibility to have the wiring
and fuses checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure your home has adequate
electrical power to operate the dryer. W113
