Move dryer to an appropriate
location
for installation. Consider
installing
the dryer before
the
washer
in side-by-side
installations, to allow access
to gas, electrical
and exhaust
connections.
Lay two of the carton corner
posts on the floor. Tip the dryer on its side so it will lay across
both
corner posts.
Set the dryer back in an upright
position.
Review
the Exhausting
Section
before
installing
the exhaust
system.
Install the ductwork
from the
dryer to the exhaust
hood. The crimped
end of the duct sections
must point away from the 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 exhaust
system
to the dryer before moving
the dryer in
place. Use duct tape to secure this section
to the dryer but do not cover louvers
in dryer cabinet.
Review Electrical Requirements
Section.
BEFORE
OPERATING
OR TESTING,
follow the grounding
instructions
in the Grounding
Section.
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.
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 U.L. listed strain relief
through
the hole provided
in the cabinet
near the terminal
block.
NOTE:
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" (1
cm) deep well socket.
Review Gas Requirements
Section.
Remove
the pipe thread
protective
cap.
Apply pipe joint compound
or about
1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape over all threaded
connections.
NOTE:
Pipe joint compound
must be resistant
to the action of any liquefied
petroleum
gas.
Connect
the gas supply to the dryer. An additional
fitting is required to connect
the 3/4"
(1.9 cm) female thread
end of a flexible
connector
to the 3/8" (1 cm) male threaded
end
on the dryer.
Securely
tighten the gas line fitting over threads.
Turn on the gas supply.
Check all gas connections
for leaks using a soap solution.
If bubbles
occur, tighten
the connections
and recheck.
DO NOT use an open flame
to check for gas
leaks.
