(grounding) conductor must be
identified by a green cover and the
neutral conductor by a white cover.
Cord should be type SRD or SRDT,
with a U.L. recognized strain relief, and
be at least 3 feet and no more than 6
feet long. The 4-wire power supply cord
and strain relief are not provided with
the Laundry Center.
NOTE: Laundry Center dryers
operating on 208 volt power supply will
have longer drying times than dryers
operating on 240 volt power supply.
Exhaust requirements
Four Inch Metal Exhaust Duct is re-
quired. (Do not use 3-inch exhaust
duct.) Metal flexible duct may be used.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC FLEXIBLE
DUCT.
For Safety:
Do not exhaust dryer into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic or
crawl space, or any other duct used for
venting. Accumulated lint could
become a fire hazard or moisture could
cause damage.
The exhaust system should be
cleaned periodically, at least every 18
months.
Flexible duct should never be
installed concealed in walls, ceiling or
floor.
Use Duct Tape to seal all joints.
Exhausting the dryer outside is
recommended.
For Mobile Home Exhaust
Requirements see Page 6, Alternate
Exhaust Methods, for detailed
instructions.
The
Exhaust Duct
should end with
an Exhaust Hood to prevent exhausted
air returning into dryer. The outlet of
the hood must be at least 12 inches from
the ground or anything else that may
be in the path of the exhaust.
A 2-1/2 inch outlet Exhaust Hood
should be used with short systems only.
This outlet creates greater backward
pressure than other hood types.
Exhaust Hoods
with screen or
magnetic latches should not be used.
The Maximum Length of the exhaust
system depends upon the type of duct
used, number of elbows and type of
exhaust hood. The maximum length for
both rigid and flexible duct is shown in
chart.
Exhaust Systems longer than specified
will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce the performance, such as
cause longer drying times and
increases the use of energy.
• Accumulate lint.
The Laundry Center may be exhausted
four (4) ways with rear flush
installation:
1. Straight back.
2. Down (8" length of 4" rigid duct
and1 elbow down).
3. Left (8" length of 4" rigid duct, 1
elbow down and 1 elbow left).
4. Right (8" length of 4" rigid duct, 1
elbow down and 1 elbow right).
To exhaust up, add an 11" length of
standard 4" diameter duct and a 90°
elbow. The unit will be positioned about
4-1/2" away from the wall (flush to wall
exhausting may be done by going below
the dryer then sideways.)

Water supply and drain
requirements
Hot and Cold water faucets within 4
feet of back of the Laundry Center and
enough pressure (5-100 PSI) are
required.
Water Heater should be set to deliver
130°F. or above water to the washer for
best results.
To drain the Laundry Center washer,
you need either a 20-gallon laundry tub
or 1-1/4 inch diameter standpipe having
a minimum carry-away capacity of 16
gallons per minute. The minimum tub
or standpipe height is 33 inches from
the bottom of the washer. The maximum
tub or standpipe height is 96 inches
from the bottom of the washer. For
installations requiring a longer drain
hose, have a qualified technician install
a longer hose, P/N 131461201. For
drain systems in the floor, install a
siphon break kit, P/N 076660-000. Both
components are available from Sears
Parts Department.
PLEASE BEGIN. . .
Remove:
(a) foam tub blocking pad;
(b) foam shipping blocks
from rear of unit;
(c) tape from dryer door;
(d) foam dryer support pads;
(e) inlet hoses.
(f) From the back of the washer,
remove the wire shipping clips
securing the drain hose and power
cord. Plastic clamps secure the
drain hose to the right side of the
washer backsheet. These clamps
form a standpipe to prevent water
siphoning. DO NOT REMOVE
THESE CLAMPS.
