INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Read the "Dryer Safety" section of this Owner's Manual and completely read these Installation Instructions before beginning installation.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

The dryer must not be installed where it can be exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Tools needed for installation:

Adjustable wrench or Pliers

N-inch nut driver

Wire stripper

Duct tape

Phillips screwdriver

Flat-head screwdriver

Level

A three-wire or four-wire, single phase 120!240-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, electrical supply is required on a separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

This dryer is manufactured with the 3-wire, flame-ground- ing conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (center) of the wiring harness of the terminal block. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

Use a 4-conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

Disconnect power before making electrical connections.

Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal (silver).

Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground connector.

Securely tighten all electrical connections.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed, 120/240-volt minimum, 30-ampere, dryer power supply cord kit (pigtail). Power supply cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least four feet long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end with ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.
