(Check with your local building inspector.) Important: Observe codes and ordinances. instructions Electrical ground is required on this appliance, Electrical requirements Size: Must be large enough to fully open dryer door. For :recessed or closet installations see Page 5 for spacing; for product dimensions see the last page of these instructions. Support: The floor must be able to support the appliance loaded weight of 500 pounds. Level Floor: Maximum floor slcpe under Laundry Center is 1 inch. Protection from the weather: Proper operation of dryer cyci:es requires temperatures above 45°F. As some water remains in the washer, do not store or operate the washer below 32°F. For storage below 32°F. see Use and Care Guide for "Winterizing." 1. A.3-wire single phase 120/240 volt 60Hz AC only electrical supply (or 3-wire 120/208 volt if specified on nameplate) is required on a separate 30 ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line (time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. 2, If a power supply cord is used, it: must be a 30 amp rated flexible type with three open end spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop terminal connectors. A U.L. recognized strain relief (U.L. mark on it or Sears Part No. 687000) to fit a one inch hole must be used. Page 2 The ;appliance may be connected direc:ly to the fused disconnect (or circu! t breaker) box thro ugh flexible arraored or nonmetallic _heathed 10 gaug_ COPPER cable. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.A U.L. recognized strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box). Wire sizes (10 gauge COPPER WI RE ONLY) and connection must conform with the rating of the appliance (30 amperes), DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CC)RD. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. all governing Location , Recommended Improper connection of the equipment-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. 1 (10-30R) _!_ Replace all access or service panels before operating Laundry Center. grounding B_ Figure 3-wire receptacle . _h-__ For mobile home installation, the appliance flame must not be connected to the neutral tez:rninal, but must be connected to the ground cord (see Page 6, Alternate Electrical Connection, for detailed instructions). Figure 2 z.-wire receptacle (14-30R) Typical 30 Amp receptacle use: Use where local c:odes permit flexible type supply cord (pigtail). If a 4--wire single phase 1:20/240 volt 60HzA(: receptacle of NEMA type 1430R (see Figure 2) is available, a matching power supply cord (pigtail) must be ased. This cord contains 4 No. 10 gauge copper conductors with spade or ring terminals on the Laundry Center end and terminating in a NEMA type 14-307 [.,lug on supply end. The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green cover and the neutral conductor by a white cowzr. Cord should be Dpe SRD or SRDT, with a U.L. recognized strain relief, and be at least 3 feet and no more than 6 feet leng. The 4-wire power supply cord and strain relief are not provided with the Laundry Center. NOTE: Laundry Center dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt power supply. The 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. EXHAUST DUCT Number of 190°Turns _ Four requirements Inch Metal Exhaust Duct is re- quired. (Do not use 3-inch exhaust duct.) Metal flexible duct may be used. DO NOT USE PLASTIC FLEXIBLE DUCT. ___"d] For Safety: _?_ Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting.

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 and 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.) To drain the Laundry Center washer, you need either a 20-gallon laundry tub or 1-I14 inch diameter standpipe having a minimum carry-away capacity of 16 gallon:_ t:er minute. The minimum tub or standpipe height is 33 inches from the bottom of the washer. The maximum tub or slandpipe from lhc bottom height is 96 inches of the washer. For installations requiting a longer drain hose, have a qualified technician install a longer hose according; to your model number. For drain systems in the floor, install a siphon break kit, PIN 537767S100. Both components are available from Sears Parts Department. PLEASE BEGIN...
