NSTALLATION REC!UREMENTS
PLEASE READ All Installation Instructions and Requirements Before Installing Power Cord.
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-
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
using
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
arating 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.
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
