IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIRED ELECTRk ClAN OR SERVICETECHNICIAN INSTALLYOUR DRYER. Dryers installed in manufactured (mobile) homes must be connected with 4 conductor type SRD or SRDT cord to a 3 pole, 4 wire grounding type receptacle; by metal-clad cable; or suitable conductors enclosed in flexible metal conduit. If using metal-clad cable or flexible conduit, leave at least 3 LOCATION This clothes dryer is designed so that it can be installed in most locations in the home. The dryer may even be installed in an unheated indoor location, such as a utility room or building.

Where permitted by local codes, a flexible power cord (pigtail) may be connected to the dryer. A receptacle should be installed in a separate circuit connected to the main service entrance panel for this type of installation. See Figure #3. Use only a 3 or 4 wire power cord kit, including strain relief, listed by U.L. for use with dryers. The power cord must have a rating of 30 amperes, 120/240 voltsAC minimum and be terminated in closed loop or open spade lugs with upturned ends. The attachment plugof the power cord and the receptacle to which it will be connected must have a minimum cur- DO NOT INSTALL THE DRYER ON A CARPETED FLOOR. DO NOT INSTALL OR STORE THE DRYER WHERE IT MAY BE EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER OR DRIPPING WATER. IF IT IS EVER EXPOSED TO WATER, HAVE A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN CHECK IT rent rating of 30 amps and have matching configurations. Typical30 ampere configurations are illustrated in figure #3. BEFORE USING. THE INSTALLATION MUST BE MADE WITH ADEQUATE CLEARANCE TO PERMIT SERVICING. This appliance MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED METAL PERMANENT WIRING SYSTEM; or an equipmentgroundingconductormust be run with the circuitconductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. GROUNDING In ordinary installations enough air will be available for proper operation of the dryer.
