Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons:

■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

■Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor 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 ventilation openings are acceptable.

■Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

■Additional spacing is required if you exhaust out the rear of the dryer to either the right or left side.

Mobile home - Additional installation requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.

Mobile home installations require:

■Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for purchase from your dealer.

■Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening.

Electrical Requirements - 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 National 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 remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

■To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical 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.

To properly install your dryer, you must determine 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

neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)

within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the

neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green

screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal

block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center

or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral

conductor.

■ If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,

see “Optional 3-wire connection” in “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.

A. Recessed area

B. Side view - closet or confined area

C. Closet door with vents

*Required spacing

■ A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a

location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding

through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile

homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding

through the neutral conductors.
