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.  
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" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is  
recommended to reduce noise transfer.  
Do not use an extension cord.  
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.  
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is  
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the  
ground path is adequate.  
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

If connecting by direct wire:  
Electrical Connection  
Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)  
and be:  
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.  
Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable  
(with ground wire), covered with flexible metallic conduit. All  
current-carrying wires must be insulated.  
If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral  
ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire  
connection” section.  
10-gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).  
At least 5 ft. (1.52 m) long.  
This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire  
electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire 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 wire must be removed  
from the external ground connector screw (green screw), and  
secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of  
the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured  
under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal  
block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.  
A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the  
dryer 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.  
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 14-30 R.  
The ground wire (ground conductor) may be  
either green or bare. The neutral conductor  
must be identified by a white cover.  
4-wire receptacle  
(14-30R)  
If your outlet looks like this:  
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.

marking  
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.  
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.  
1.  
Prepare dryer for leveling legs  
Examine leveling legs, find diamond marking. Screw legs into  
leg holes by hand, use a wrench to finish turning legs until  
diamond marking is no longer visible.  
Now stand the dryer on its feet. Slide the dryer until it is  
close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical  
connection and to connect the exhaust vent.  
To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard  
from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer.  
Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay  
dryer down on cardboard.

The total length should not exceed 7 3/4 ft. (2.4 m).  
noTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire  
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged  
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or  
flexible metal vents. Review Vent system chart and if necessary,  
modify existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.

portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate  
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

12" min.  
(305 mm)  
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal  
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.  
Determine vent path:  
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood  
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct  
path outdoors.  
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.  
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room  
as possible.  
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.  
Use as few 90° turns as possible.  
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best  
drying performance:  
Use following Vent system chart to determine type of vent  
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.  
Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust  
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location  
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps  
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other  
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure  
vent, because they can catch lint.  
noTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified  
in Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those  
specified will:  
Shorten life of dryer.  
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times  
and increased energy usage.  
Connect Vent  
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will  
help achieve best drying performance.
