Spacing for recessed area or closet installation

The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is recommended 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 ventilitation openings are acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

INSTALL LEVELING LEGS

1. Prepare dryer for leveling legs

• To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer.
• Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer down on cardboard.

2. Screw in leveling legs

• Using a wrench and tape measure, screw leveling legs into leg holes until bottom of foot is approximately 1/2" (13 mm) from bottom of dryer (so that the dryer height matches that of the accompanying washer).
• Now stand the dryer on its feet. Slide the dryer until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

POWER SUPPLY CORD CONNECTION

Power Supply Cord Strain Relief

1. Attach power supply cord strain relief

• Remove the screws from a 3/4" (19 mm) UL Listed strain relief. Put the tabs of the two clamp sections (C) into the hole below the terminal block opening (B) so that one tab is pointing up (A) and the other is pointing down (D), and hold in place. Tighten strain relief screws just enough to hold the two clamp sections (C) together.

2. Attach power supply cord to strain relief

• Put power supply cord through the strain relief. Be sure that the wire insulation on the power supply cord is inside the strain relief. The strain relief should have a tight fit with the dryer cabinet and be in a horizontal position. Do not further tighten strain relief screws at this point.

4-wire Power Supply Cord Connection

1. Prepare to connect neutral ground wire and neutral wire

• Remove center terminal block screw (B). Remove neutral ground wire (E) from external ground conductor screw (A).

2. Connect neutral ground wire and neutral wire

• Connect neutral ground wire (E) and neutral wire (white) (C) of power supply cord under center terminal block screw (B). Tighten screw.

3. Connect ground wire

• Connect ground wire (F) (green or bare) of power supply cord to external ground conductor screw (A). Tighten screw.

4. Connect remaining wires

• Connect remaining wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws. Finally, reinstall terminal block cover. Secure cover with hold down screw. Now, go to “Venting Requirements.”
