Installation
Location Requirements
For the proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the
installation. Consider installing the dryer and
washer side-by-side, to allow access to the gas,
electrical, and exhaust connections. Place two of
the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your
dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-
tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.
3. To ensure that the dryer provides the optimal
drying performance, it must be leveled. To
minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor must be a perfectly level,
solid surface.
- Adjust the leveling feet only as much as
necessary to level the dryer. Extending the
leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to
vibrate.
4. Review the “
Exhausting
” section on page 10 before installing
the exhaust system. Install the ductwork from your dryer to the
exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point
away from your dryer.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling the ducting.
These joints should be taped.
Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
Tip for tight installations: install a section of the exhaust system
onto your dryer before putting it in place.
Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not
cover the ventilation slots at the back of the unit in dryer cabinet.
Installation
Location Requirements
The wiring diagram is located on the back board of the unit.
- The improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether your dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with your dryer - if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
- To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring
and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 - Latest
Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 - Latest
Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide
adequate electrical services for your dryer.
- All gas installations must be done in accordance with the National Fuel Code
ANSI/Z2231 - Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or CAN/CGA - B149 Installation
Codes - Latest Revision (for Canada) and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Grounding
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, the grounding
the product will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance
for the electrical current.
Gas models
- Your dryer has a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.
- The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
- Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
- Never connect the ground wire to the plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot
water pipes.
WARNING
Electric models
- For products sold in the U.S., your dryer has an optional cord with an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug, which is sold separately.
For products sold in Canada, your dryer has a cord with an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug.
- The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
- Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
- If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the
dryer must be connected to a permanently grounded metal wiring system, or an
equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
WARNING
Electric models - Canada only
- A 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse
or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
- All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should
be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
In Canada, you may not convert a dryer to 208 volts.
5. Remove the screws for the power cord fixing base. Cross the power cord to the
base, then install back and tighten the screws. Be sure to fix the power cord tightly.
6. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into your dryer’s rear panel slot.
7. Secure the cover with a hold-down screw.
