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

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.

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.

Exhaust Systems longer than specified
will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce the performance,
such as
cause longer
drying
times and
increases the use of energy.
• Accumulate
lint.
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

are
available from Sears Parts Department.
