INSTALLATION
1. GAS CONNECTION (Gas dryers only)
a. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the
dryer.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service without
converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must be
installed by a qualified gas technician.
b. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved pipe
from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located
on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm
to 0.96 cm) reducer for a connection. Apply an approved
thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive action of
liquefied gases on all pipe connections.
c. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
d. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.
NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
2. Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system. Use duct
tape to seal all joints.
3. With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or more of the legs
until the dryer is resting solid on all four legs. Place a level on top
of the dryer. THE DRYER MUST BE LEVEL AND RESTING SOLID
ON ALL FOUR LEGS.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE: Check to
ensure the power is off at circuit breaker/fuse box before
plugging the power cord into the outlet.
5. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer area
is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors. Also see that nothing (such as boxes, clothing,
etc.) obstructs the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
6. Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation.
NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is necessary
for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner does not light
within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is turned on, the safety
switch will shut the burner off. If this happens, turn the timer to
"OFF" and wait 5 minutes before making another attempt to
light.
7. If your dryer does not operate, please review the "Avoid Service
Checklist" located in your Owner's Guide before calling for
service.
8. Place these instructions in a location near the dryer for future
reference.
NOTE: A wiring diagram is located inside the dryer console or
under the top panel.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If replacement parts are needed for your dryer, contact the source
where you purchased your dryer.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the dryer is
unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers
causing suffocation. Place all materials in a garbage container or
make materials inaccessible to children.
The instructions in this manual and all other literature
included with this dryer are not meant to cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Good safe practice and
caution MUST be applied when installing, operating and
maintaining any appliance.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSFOR 4-WIRE SYSTEM

Non-Canadian ELECTRIC Dryer

1. Remove the screws securing the terminal block access cover and
the strain relief mounting bracket located on the back of the dryer
upper corner.
2. Install a U.L. approved strain relief in the entry hole of the mounting
bracket. Finger tighten the nut only at this time.
3. Remove the ground wire from the green ground screw located
above the terminal block.
4. Thread a U.L. approved 30 amp power cord, NEMA 14-30 type ST
or SRDT through the strain relief.
5. Attach the green power cord ground wire to the cabinet with the
green ground screw.
6. Attach the white (neutral) power cord conductor from the power
cord and the neutral ground wire from the dryer harness to the
silver-colored center terminal on the terminal block. Tighten the
screw securely.
7. Attach the red and black power cord conductors to the outer
brass-colored terminals on the terminal block.
Do not make a sharp bend or crimp wiring/ conductor
at the connections.
8. Tighten the screws securing the cord restraint firmly against the
power cord.
9. Tighten the strain relief nut securely so the strain relief does not
turn.
10. Reinstall the terminal block access cover.
