U.S. MODELS:
Risk Of Electric Shock
All U.S.models are designed 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. If
you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal
block.
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.
9. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must
be level. To level the dryer, follow the lettered steps below:
a. Using a level, check if the dryer is level side to side and then front
to back.
b. If the dryer is not level, adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of
the dryer until the dryer is level side to side and back to front.
Turning the feet clockwise retracts the feet. Turning the feet
clockwise loosens and extends them.
If you have a dryer and washer
To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully
retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise,
then loosen the feet by turning them clockwise. Once
the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the
directions above to level the dryer.
Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling
feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
10. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models) and exhaust, and electrical connections are complete.
Plug in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist on the next page.
11. For GAS MODELS ONLY
The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat
setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer o and wait 5
minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the
exhaust for heat.
