Parts needed: Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting and see "Electrical Requirements" and "Venting Requirements" before purchasing parts. Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. For information on ordering, please refer to the "Assistance or Service" section. You may also contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. If using a power supply cord: Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain: ■ A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends. ■ A UL listed strain relief. Location Requirements You will need ■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See "Venting Requirements." ■ A separate 30-amp circuit. ■ If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer. See "Electrical Requirements." ■ A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered. ■ Cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa). You may use the water supply for your washer using the "Y" connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided. ■ 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance. ■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire dryer. Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector. Installation Clearances The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open fully. Dryer Dimensions 431/2" (1105 mm) 291/4" (743 mm) 29" (737 mm) 221/4" (565 mm) *Most installations require a minimum 5" (127 mm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with elbow. See "Venting Requirements." Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons: ■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. ■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings. ■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. ■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable. ■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered. ■ Additional spacing is required if you exhaust out the rear of the dryer to either the right or left side. 18"* (457 mm) 14" máx.* (356 mm) 48 in.2* (310 cm2) 24 in.2* (155 cm2) 1" (25 mm) 29" (737 mm) 1" (25 mm) 291/4" (743 mm) 5" (127 mm) A B C A.

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply and venting and

see “Electrical Requirements” and “Venting Requirements” before

purchasing parts.

Mobile home installations require metal exhaust system hardware

available for purchase from the dealer from whom you purchased

your dryer. For information on ordering, please refer to the

“Assistance or Service” section. You may also contact the dealer

from whom you purchased your dryer.

If using a power supply cor

Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes

dryers. The kit should contain:

■

A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt

minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least

4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end

in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

■

A UL listed strain relief.

Location Requirements

You will nee

■

A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See

“Venting Requirements.”

■

A separate 30-amp circuit.

■

If you are using a power supply cord, a grounded electrical

outlet located within 2 ft (610 mm) of either side of the dryer.

See “Electrical Requirements.”

■

A sturdy floor to support the total weight (dryer and load) of

200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion

appliance should also be considered.

■

Cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the water fill

valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa). You

may use the water supply for your washer using the “Y”

connector and short hose (if needed) which are provided.

■

20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.

■

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire

dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45ºF (7ºC). At

lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an

automatic cycle. Drying times can be extended.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit,

installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

Installation Clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to open

fully.

Requirements.”

Installation spacing for recesse

area or closet installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer.

This dryer has been tested for spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the

sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the

following reasons:

■

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation

and servicing.

■

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor

moldings.

■

Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer

to reduce noise transfer.

■

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings

in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors

with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.

■

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

■

Additional spacing is required if you exhaust out the rear of the

dryer to either the right or left side.
