4. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.
NEVER test
for gas leaks with an open flame.
GENERAL INSTALLATION
1. Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system (see pages 2
and 3). Use duct tape to seal all joints.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. If your dryer does not operate, please review the "Avoid Service
Checklist" located in your Use and Care Guide before calling for
service.
7. Place these instructions in a location near the dryer for future
reference.
NOTE:
A wiring diagram/tech sheet is in an envelope attached to
the inside side panel of the dryer by the blower housing.
Pedestal
A pedestal accessory,
Model No.
APWD15W
, specifically designed for
this dryer may be used when elevating the dryer for ease of use.
Failure to use accessories certified by the manufacturer could result in
personal injury, property damage or damage to the dryer.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If replacements parts are needed for your dryer, contact the source
where you purchased your dryer, call 1-800-944-9044, or visit our website,
www.frigidaire.com, for the Frigidaire Company Authorized Parts
Distributor nearest you.
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.
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.
GAS CONNECTION
1. 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.
2. 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 (see pages 6 and 7). 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.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gassupply line to allow gas to flow
through the pipe.
