Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

Do not modify the plug with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

1. A three-wire, single phase,120/240- volt, 60-Hz, AC only, electrical supply, with a fourth wire as a grounding wire, (or three-wire,

120/208-volt electrical supply with a fourth wire as a grounding wire if specified on nameplate) is required on a separate 30- ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. [Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

It is the personal responsibility of the customer to contact a qualifed installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the

National Electrical Code

ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

PANEL A

WARNING:

Potential Fire Hazard

l

It is the customer’s personal responsibility to ensure that gasoline, paint, thinners and other flammable material are not used or stored near the washer/dryer. Fumes from these materials could result in fire or explosion.

l

Never install washer/dryer up against draperies or curtains. Keep any and all

items

from falling or collecting behind the washer/dryer.

l

Replace all access panels before operating washer/ dryer.

1 FOR YOUR SAFETY:

l

Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting.

Accumulated lint could become a fire hazard or moisture could cause damage.

l

The exhaust system should be cleaned at least every 2 years.

l

Flexible duct should never be installed concealed in walls, ceiling or floor.

5. If you must change to

AC only, electrical supply system:

Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed,120/240-volt minimum, 30-ampere, dryer power supply cord kit [pigtail] with a receptacle of NEMA Type IO-30R.

(See Figure 3.) This cord contains three, No.-10 copper wires and matches a three-wire receptacle of NEMA Type IO-30R. (Shown in

Figure 3.) Connectors on the dryer end must be ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends, A %” U.L.-listed strain relief must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance. The three-wire power supply cord is not provided with the washer/dryer. A kit, Part

No. 687104, is available from your Whirlpool dealer.

NOTE: If local codes require permanently connected wiring, see

“Alternate electrical connection,”

Panel F.

To convert to three-wire electrical system, the four-wire power supply cord must be removed and the appliance cabinet must be grounded according to local codes either by using the neutral terminal or a separate grounding wire.

(See Panel F, ‘Alternate electrical connection;’ for detailed instructions.)

Exhaust reqdrements

WARNING: Potential Fire Hazard l

Metal, flexible duct may be used.

Do Not use non-metallic flexible duct since it is a potential fire hazard. l

Four-Inch Metal Exhaust Duct is required.

Use Duct Tape to seal all joints.

Exhausting the dryer outside is recommended. If dryer cannot be exhausted outside, use Exhaust Deflector Kit LCK4500 available from your Whirlpool dealer.

Exhausting the dryer through the side of the washer/dryer requires use of Side Exhaust Kit LCK4600. Follow installation instructions with the kit for proper exhaust installation.

Mobile Home Exhaust

Requirements: see Panel F,

Alternate Exhaust Methods.

Metal Flexible Duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. DO NOT

KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT

Exhaust Duct should end with an exhaust hood to prevent exhausted air from returning into dryer. The outlet of the hood must be at least

12 inches form the ground or any object that may be in the path of exhaust.

2Yzinch outlet Exhaust Hood should be used with short systems only. This outlet creates greater backward pressure than other hood types.

Exhaust Hoods with magnetic latches should not be used.

Maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood. The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in chart.

Alternate exhaust methods

The washer/dryer installed in a mobile home must be exhausted outside. When the dryer is exhausted through the floor, the exhaust system must terminate outside the enclosed area under the mobile home.

Extension beyond the mobile home will prevent lint and moisture buildup under the mobile home. See Figure 4.

To

connect a separate grounding wire -

Use grounding wire and clamp assembly (Part No. 685463) or No. 10 gauge minimum copper grounding wire. Connect grounding wire to a grounded cold water pipe* with the clamp and then to the external grounding connector on the washer/ dryer. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe or hot water pipe. Do not connect the power supply cord to electrical supply until the appliance is permanently grounded.

No.4

Alternate electrical connection

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Four-wire electrical supply system

This appliance is manufactured with a 30-amp-rated, four-wire, flexible type power supply cord with the green, grounding wire connected to the internal, grounding connector,

(See Figure 7.)

To remove the power supply cord -

Disconnect power supply.

1. Remove the terminal block cover from the dryer,

2. Disconnect the power supply cord from the terminal block.

3. Disconnect the green grounding wire of the power supply cord from the internal grounding connector.

4. Loosen the two screws in the strain relief.

5. Pull downward on the power supply cord until it is removed from the dryer.

Direct wiring connection

1. Strip outer covering back 3 inches from the end exposing the 3 wires,

2. Strip the insulation back 1 inch from the end of each wire. Form the bare wire into a “U”shaped hook.
