Check the spot where you re B n going o insta the dryer... proper mstaation is your responsibiity. Make sure you have C w everything necessary for proper insaatron. You need: To meet code requirements: some codes keep from or imit instaation of cothes dryers rn garages, cosets, mobie homes and seeping quarters. (Check with your oca buiding inspector.) Important: observe a governing codes and ordinances. To check utiities: proper connectron to eectric suppy shoud be avaiabe. To check exhaust requirements: a four inch meta exhaust duct is required. LOCATION Size: Must be arge enough to fuy open dryer door. For recessed or coset instaatron spacinq see Pane 8. Support: The foor bust be abe to support the apprance weight of 175 pounds Leve Foor: Maximum foor sope under dryer - 1 inch. Protection from the weather: Proper operation of drver cvces reouires temperatures above 45 F., o;~the dryer may not shut off when automatic cyces are used. m It is the persona responsibiity of the customer to ensure fhat oasoine. paint, thinners and other fammabe maerras are not used or stored near the dryer. Fumes from these materias coud resut in fire or exposion. b Never insta the dryer up against draperies or curtains and be sure to keep any and a items from famg or coectmg behind the dryer D Repace a access or service panes beore operating dryer. Eectrica tvquhments 1. A three-wire, srnge phase, 120/240- vot, 60.Hz. AC ony, eectrica suppy (or three-wire, 120/206vot if specified on namepate) is required on a separate, 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the ine. (Time-deay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) Do Not have a fuse rn the neutra or ground circuit. It is the persona responsibiity of the customer to contact a quaifred k-staer to assure that the eectrica nstaaton is adequate and in conformance with the Nationa Eectrica Code ANSVNFPA 70- atest edition, and a oca codes and ordinances, Typica 30-ampere receptace for use rvhere oca codes permit use of fexibe PANEL A power suppy cord (pigtai). 2. THE DRYER,Ls+$,.

WARNING: Eectrica Shock Hazard. Improper connection d the equipment-grounding conductor can resut in eectrica shock. Use a new 30.amp power suppy cord ki. Possibe eectrica shock or fire hazard coud occur i od power suppy is used. Do Not pug the power suppy cord (pigta) rno a ive wa receptace before connecting the pigtai to the termrna bock. Read Eectrica connection: Pane A, for detaied instructions. 4. The appiance may be connected direcy to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box throuqh fexibe armored or non-metaicsheathed coooer cabe. Aow two or three feet of siack in the ine between the wa and the appiance so that it can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. A%: U.L.-isted strain reief must be provided at each end of the power suppy cord (at the appiance and at the junction box). Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and connections must conform with the rating of the appiance (30 amperes). Do Not use an extension cord. Important: Observe a governing codes and ordinances. 5. For mobie home or other four-wire insaations, the appiance wiring must be revised. The appiance cabinet must not be connected to the neutra termina, but must be connected to the grounding wire (green) of the power suppy cord. When a four-wire receptace of NEMA TVD~ 14.30R is used fsee Fioure 21. a maching 120/240-vot mir&um:30- ampere, U.L. isted dryer power suppy cord ki (pigar) must be used.

Tighten strain reief camp on power Exhaust Requkments Meta exibe duct may be used. Do Not use non-metaic fexibe duct smce it is a potentia fire hazard. For Safety: Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, furnace cod air duct, attic or craw space, or any other duct used for ventina. Accumuated int coud becomk a fire hazard or moisture coud cause damage. Cean the exhaust system periodicay, at east every 2 years. Never insta fexibe duct conceaed in was, Exhaustng the dryer outside is recommended. If you cannot exhaust the dryer to the outside, use Exhaust Defector Kit LCK4000 avaiabe from your KitchenAid deaer. Exhaust Systems onger than specified wi: m Accumuate int. ) Shorten the ife of the dryer. m Reduce the performance in ways such as causing onger drying times and increasing the use of energy. The back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed 0.6 inches of water coumn measured with an incined manometer at the point that the exhaust system connects to the dryer. For Mobie Home instaation, the dryer must have an outside exhaust. If you exhaust the dryer through the f and the area under your mobie home is encosed, the exhaust system must terminate outsde the encosed area. Extension beyond the encosure wi orevent int and moisture buid-up under the mobie home. There are Exhaust Kits avaiabe that aow you to direct fitered exhaust air inside to conserve energy during the winter months. Whirpoo has a Heat- Humidity Saver Part No which can be used with Whirpoo dryers providing their use does not vioate oca codes. If you use one of these kits, be aware that excessive moisture in the home can cause many probems and that you may see an increase in the time required to dry a oad. Aso, you must reguary cean the fiter to avoid excessive int buid-up which can affect the dryer s performance. RecessedAma INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECESSED OR CLOSET INSTALLATIONS The foowing instaation spacings and door air openings for the dryer are possibe when instaed and exhausted as noted. (Spacing as indicated is In inches and is minimum aowabe. For ease of instaation and service. additiona spacing shoud be considered.) 7. Tighten strain reief camp on power C If connecting to a four-wire eectrica n system (mobie home): 1. Remove the termina bock cover by removing Ihe screw shown in Figure Attach a %: U.L.-isted strain reief (U-L. marked on it) to the dryer through the power suppy cord hoe. See Figure 4. Tighten strain reief firmv to cabinet. Pace the oower suppy cord or direct wire thorough the strain reief. Tighten screws on strain reief. 3. Remove grounding wire (green) from the externa groundmg connector and fasten under center sivercoored termina bock screw, 4. Connect the grounding wire (green) of the power suppy cord to the externa groundmg connector. 5. Connect the neutra wire (white) of the power suppy cord to the center siver-coored termina 01 the termina bock and connect the other wires o the outer terminas. See Figure 10. For connecting pain-end fied wire, see Figure 6 Outet is ocated at the v center of the bonom drver back.,ajl24h The Exhaust Duct can be route up. down, eft, right or straight out the back of the dryer. Meta Fexibe Duct must fuy extended and suppo when the dryer is in its iina position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT. An Exhaust Hood shoud ca exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air from returning into dryer. The oute of the hood must be at east 12 inches from the ground or anything ese that may be in the path of the exhaust. A 2% inch outet Exhaust Hood shoud be used with short systems ony. (This outet creates areater back oressure than other ho& types.) Exhaust Hoods with magnetic atches shoud not be used. The Maximum Length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of ebows and ype.&f exhaust hood. The maximum enath for both rigid and exibe duct is <hewn in chart. i r- t TO PREVENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF LINT AND MOISTURE FROM ACCUMUATING AND TO MAINTAIN DRYING EFFICIENCY, THIS MACHINE MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. Unobstructed air openings are required for aundry equipment when door is instaed. Coset instaation must be exhausted.
