Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (4 cm)
above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.

installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted
to the outdoors. See “Venting Requirements.”
• A separate 30 amp circuit electric dryers
only).
• A grounded electrical outlet located within
2 ft. 61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See
“Electrical Requirements.”
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight
of 200 lbs. 90.7 kg). The combined weight of
a companion appliance should also be con-
sidered.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1″ 2.5
cm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater
than 1″ 2.5 cm), install Extended Dryer Feet
Kit, Part Number 279810. Clothes may not
tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles
may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
• For a garage installation, you will need to

dryer might not shut off at the end of an auto-
matic cycle. This can result in longer drying
times.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an
area where it will be exposed to water and/or
weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit,
or do not permit, installation of the dryer in
garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping
quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be
installed in the same closet as a dryer.
Installation Clearances
• The location must be large enough to fully
open the dryer door.
• Additional spacing should be considered for
ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for
wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1″ 2.5 cm) on all sides
of the dryer is recommended to reduce noise
transfer.
• Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.
Dryer Dimensions

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
ELECTRIC DRYERS—U.S.A. ONLY
It is your responsibility
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To be sure that the electrical connection is
adequate and in conformance with the Na-
tional Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest
edition and all local codes and ordinances.
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire
power supply connection for homes built
after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remod-
eling after 1996, and all mobile home instal-
lations.
A copy of the above code standards can be
obtained from: National Fire Protection As-
sociation, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269.
• To supply the required 3- or 4-wire, single
phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electri-
cal supply or 3- or 4-wire, 120/208-volt electri-
cal supply, if specified on the serial/rating
plate) 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. 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 qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must deter-
mine 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 green cabinet-grounding conductor is
permanently connected to the neutral con-
ductor white wire) within the dryer. If the
dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical
supply connection, the green cabinet-ground-
ing conductor must be removed from the
external ground connector green screw),
and secured under the neutral terminal cen-
ter or white wire) of the terminal block. When
the green cabinet-grounding conductor is
secured under the neutral terminal center or
white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer
cabinet is isolated from the neutral conduc-
tor.
• If local codes do not permit the connection of
a cabinet ground connector to the neutral
wire, see “Optional 3-wire Connection” sec-
tion.
• Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer
is installed in a mobile home or an area
where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral.

2-5
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 amp power supply cord, rated
120/240 volt 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.
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 4, 10-gauge solid
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of
NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire ground
conductor) may be either green or bare. The
neutral conductor must be identified by a white
cover.
If your outlet looks like this:
4-wire receptacle 14-30R)
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 3, 10-gauge solid
copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of
NEMA Type 10-30R.
3-wire receptacle 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),
protected with flexible metallic conduit. All
current-carrying wires must be insulated.
• 10-gauge solid copper wire do not use alu-
minum).
• At least 5 ft 1.52 m) long.
• 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 uses a cord
having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
• For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring sys-
tem, or an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor must be run with the circuit conductors
and connected to the equipment-ground-
ing terminal or lead on the dryer.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service representa-
tive or personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the dryer 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 by a qualified electrician.

4-Wire Connection: Direct Wire
IMPORTANT: A 4-wire connection is required
for mobile homes and where local codes do not
permit the use of 3-wire connections.
Direct wire cable must have 5 ft 1.52 m) of
extra length so dryer can be moved if needed.
Strip 5″ 12.7 cm) of outer covering from end of
cable, leaving bare ground wire at 5″ 12.7 cm).
Cut 1-1/2″ 3.8 cm) from 3 remaining wires.
Strip insulation back 1″ 2.5 cm). Shape ends
of wires into a hook shape.
When connecting to the terminal block, place
the hooked end of the wire under the screw of
the terminal block hook facing right), squeeze
hooked end together and tighten screw. See
example below.
1. Remove center terminal block screw.
2. Remove appliance ground wire green
with yellow stripes) from external ground
conductor screw. Fasten it under center,
silver-colored terminal block screw.
4. Place the hooked end of the neutral wire
white wire) of power supply cable under
the center screw of terminal block hook
facing right). Squeeze hooked end to-
gether. Tighten screw.
5. Place hooked ends of the other power
supply cable wires under the outer termi-
nal block screws hooks facing right).
