Installing your dryer _13
INSTALLATION
For proper installation, it is highly recommended to hire a professional. To install:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-
by-side, to allow access to electrical and exhaust connections. Lay two of the carton cushion-tops on
the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it will lay across both cushion-tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.
3. Review the Exhausting section 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 ducting. These joints should be taped.
Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
Tip for tight installations: install a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place.
Use duct tape to secure this section of the exhaust system to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation
slots at the back of the unit.
4. Review Electrical Requirements section on page 11.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the Grounding section on page 11.
U.S. MODELS:
IMPORTANT – All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION.
The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile
homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral line. If the 4-wire system is
used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. Refer
to the following instructions for 3- and 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the
terminal block.
A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8” (1cm) deep well socket.
