Mobile Home Use: The gas appliance mu,;t be securely fastened to the floor. Sears Kit No. 346764 is available at your local Sears store or Sears Service Center. For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life. B You will need to meet State code/law requirements: Some Codes keep from or limit installation of clothes dryers in residential garages, closets, mobile homes and sleeping quarters. (Check with your local building inspector and ANSI Z 223.1--1988 National Fuel Gas Code.) For mobile homes, installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 2,* CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard tbr Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD [Part 280], 1975). Important: Observe all governing codes and 0_dinances. ATTENTION SERVICERS: Wiring diagram is located behind the dryer access panel. Recommended location Size: Must be large open dryer door.

In the eve nt of malfimction or breakdown, groun,:ling will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. _-"-_[_1_] hnproper connection of the equiwng4at-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. YOU • Do not try to light any appliance. • Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. • Clear the room, building or area of all occupants. • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. • Never install the Laundry Center up against draperies or curtains and be sure to keep any and all items from falling or collecting behind the Laundry Center. • Replace all access or service panels before operating Laundry Center. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance--if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a cualified electrician. NOTE: Do not under any circum-. stances remove grounding prong from plug. Figure, 1 NOTE PRONG TO INSTALLER The home electrical service entrance, the distribution center and circuit breakers, the branch circuit to the wall receptacle and receptacle must be capable of supplying 20 amps to your new Laundry Center and meet both national and local electrical codes. The enclosed 20 amp receptacle, if needed, must be installed by a qualified electrician who will understand your needs and code reqairements for a proper branch circuit. Level Floor: Maximum floor slope under Laundry Center is 1 inch. Page 2 20 amp 1. A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is required on a separate 20 ampere circuit fused by a time delay fuse or ciircuit breaker. 2. A 3-prong grounded wall receptacle (grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70-1987, and local codes and ordinances) Gas requirements 1. Installation must meet American National Standard, National Fuel Gas CodeANSI Z 223.1--1988 and local codes and ordinances. "['he gas supply line should be 1/2 inch pipe. A l/2" to 3/8" reducer must be used to connect the dryer to the supply line. 2, is required. For added personal safety, connect a separate ground wire (No. 12 minimum) from the green ground screw on the rear of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe as shown in Figure 2. Do not attach to a gas pipe or hot water pipe. Grounded cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other electrical insulating connectors (such as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets, including water meter or pump). Any electrical insulating connector should be jumped as shown in Figure 3 with a length of No. 4 wire securely clamped to bare metal at both ends. GIqOUND CLAMP /.(ATTACH TO METAL 3. The gas supply line MUST have a shut-off valve preferably within six feet of the dryer (Figure 4). A 1/8 inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection. The dryer and its individual shut-offvalve must be disconnected from the .gas supply piping system during any pressure testing (Figure 4) of that system at test pressures in excess 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). 4, .12M,NIMU (NOT SUPPLIED) GREEN ,_aROUND \SgREW ] [_,_ Figure 2 NO. 4 WIRE WATER PIPE METAL GROUND BONDING CLAMP Figure 3 Exhaust requirements Four Inch Metal Exhaust Duct is required.

For Safety: • Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting. Accurnulated lint could become a fire hazard or moisture could cause damage. • The exhaust system should be cleaned p_ri_dically, at least every 18 n:onths. • Flexible duct should never be installed concealed in walls, ceiling or floor.

Figure 4 II?'!_ Do not attempt to alter gas orifice or adjust burner air shutter. Natural gas input may vary in some areas from 700 to 1200 B.T.U. per cubic foot. If gas orifice or burner air shutter are incorrectly adjusted, serious personal injury and/or fire hazard can occur. Your local gas company will know the qualities of the gas in your area. Contact your local servicing dealer if burner adjustment or orifice changes are necessary. llg_ Do not use an open flame for leak testing. Serious personal injury and/or a fire hazard can result if an open flame is used to test for gas leaks. Use a soap and water solution to test all gas line fittings. Do not install dryer to an L.P. gas supply without installing conversion kit. All dryers shipped out of the factory are equipped with a pressure regulator and natural gas orifice. Using a natural gas orifice with Page 3 dryer outside is A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathrcom, or a closet MUST exhausted to the outside. a be No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet as the dryer. -_ For Mobile Home Exhaust Requirements see Page 7, Alternate Exhaust Methods, for detailed instructions. The Exhaust Duct should end with an exhaust hood to prevent exhausted air returning into dryer. The outlet of the hood must be at least 12 inches from the ground or anything else that may be in the path of the exhaust. A 2-1/2 inch outlet Exhaust Hood should be used with short systems only. This outlet creates greater backward pressure than other hood types. Exhaust Hoods with screens or magnetic latches should not be useqk TheMaximumLength 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. Water supply and drain requirements Hot and Cold water faucets within 4 feet of back of the Laundry Center and enough pressure (5-100 PSI) are required.

The Laundry. Center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear flush installation: 1. Straight back. 2. Down (8" length of 4" rigid duct andl elbow down). 3. Left (8" length of 4" rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left). 4. Right (8" length of 4" rigid duct, 1 elbow down arid 1 ,elbow right). To exhaust up, add an 11" length of standard 4"diameter duct and a 90 ° elbow. The unit will be positioned about 4-1/2" away from the wall (flush to wall exhausting may be done by going below the dryer then sideways). Water Heater should be set to deliver ", o 1._0 F. or above water to the washer for best results. To drain the Laundry Center washer, you need either a 20-gallon laundry tub or 1-1/4 inch diameter standpipe having a minimum carry-away capacity of 16 gallons per minute. The minimum tub or standpipe height is 33 inches from the bottom of the washer. The maximum tub or standpipe height is 96 inches from the bottom of the washer. For installations requiring a longer drain'fiose, have a qualified technician install a longer hose according to your model number. For drain systems in the floor, install a siphon break kit, P/N 5377678100. Both components are available from Sears Parts Department. PLEASE BEGIN...
