NOTE The dryer is supplied with the neutral conductor grounded. If a 3-wire cord is to be used and is allowed, make sure the white neutral grounding wire is connected to the green ground screw. 7 Connect the external ground (if required by local codes) to the green ground screw. 8 Tighten all screws securely. 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 and Installation Test (Duct Check) on the following page. Testing Dryer Heating GAS MODELS Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner. ELECTRIC MODELS Close the dryer door, press the POWER button 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-inch (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 four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Three-Wire 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 installation of dryer.
1
Remove 3½-inch (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.
1" (2.5 cm)
2
Remove the terminal block access cover on the
upper back of the dryer.
3
Install a UL-listed strain relief into the power cord
through-hole.
4
Thread the 3-wire, #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor power cable prepared in step 1
through the strain relief.

Attach the two hot leads (black and red) of the
power cord to the outer terminal block screws.
6
Attach the neutral (white) wire to the center
terminal block screw.
NOTE
The dryer is supplied with the neutral conductor
grounded. If a 3-wire cord is to be used and is
allowed, make sure the white neutral grounding
wire is connected to the green ground screw.
7
Connect the external ground (if required by local
codes) to the green ground screw.
8
Tighten all screws securely.

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 and Installation Test (Duct
