Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch
to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat
setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should
ignite the main burner.
NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line,
the gas igniter may turn off before the main
burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will
reattempt gas ignition after approximately
two minutes.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch
to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat
setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the
dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured
by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure
in the exhaust duct can be measured with
a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct
approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not
exceed 0.6 in. (1.5 cm). The dryer should be
checked while the dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck
the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is
level front to back and side to side, and that
all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECk
Once you have completed the installation of
the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm
proper operation with the following tests.
Any installation in a manufactured or mobile
home must comply with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR,
Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and
local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain
whether your proposed installation will comply
with these standards, please contact a service
and installation professional for assistance.
• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to
the floor.
• The electrical connection for an electric dryer
must be a 4-wire connection. More detailed
information concerning the electrical connection
is provided in the section
Connecting Electric
Dryers .
• To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the
dryer must be vented to the outside.
• DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured
home or mobile home.
• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside
using the back, left, right, or bottom panel.
• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using
the back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may
not be vented to the outside using the right side
panel because of the burner housing.
• The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely
to the manufactured or mobile home structure,
and the exhaust duct must be made of a
material that will resist fire and combustion.
It is recommended that you use a rigid or
flexible metal duct.
• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct
to any other duct, vent, chimney, or other
exhaust duct.
• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to
outside fresh air to ensure proper operation.
The opening for outside fresh air must be at
least 25 in
2
(163 cm
2
).
• It is important that the clearance of the duct
from any combustible construction be at least
2 in. (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to
the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a
clearance of 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and back
of the dryer.
• Please be aware that venting materials are
not supplied with the dryer. You should obtain
the venting materials necessary for proper
installation.

inches (8.9 cm) of the outer
covering from the wire. Strip 1 inch (2.5 cm)
insulation from each wire. Bend the ends of
the three wires into a hook shape.

Attach the two hot leads of the power cord
to the outer terminal block screws. Attach
the neutral wire to the center terminal block
screw. Connect the external ground (if
required by local codes) to the green ground
screw. TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS SECURELY.
Reinstall the terminal block access cover.

Three-Wire Connection for Electric Dryers: Direct Wire
• A 3-wire connection is NOT permitted on new
construction after January 1, 1996.
• A UL-listed strain relief is required.
• Use UL-listed 3-wire #10 AWG-minimum
copper conductor cable.
• Allow at least 5 ft (1.5 m) length to allow for
removal and reinstallation of the dryer.

WARNING:
• Connect the power cord to the terminal block. Each colored wire should be connected to
same color screw. Wire color indicated on manual is connected to the same color screw
in block. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a short or overload.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor 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 conductor.
