INSTALLATION

1. GAS CONNECTION

(Gas dryers only)

a. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of

the dryer.

NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service without

converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must
be installed by a qualified gas technician.

b. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved

pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8
inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for a connection.
Apply an approved thread sealer that is resistant to the
c o r r o s i v e a c t i o n o f l i q u e f i e d g a s e s o n a l l p i p e
connections.

c . Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.

d. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water

solution. NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN
OPEN FLAME.

2. Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system. Use

duct tape to seal all joints.

3. With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or more of

the legs until the dryer is resting solid on all four legs.
Place a level on top of the dryer. THE DRYER MUST BE
LEVEL AND RESTING SOLID ON ALL FOUR LEGS.

4. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE: Check

to ensure the power is off at circuit breaker/fuse box before
plugging the power cord into the outlet.

5. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.

Before operating the dryer, make sure the dryer

area is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors. Also see that nothing (such as
boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.

6. Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation.

NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is
necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner
does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is
turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this
happens, turn the timer to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before
making another attempt to light.

7. Place these instructions in a location near the dryer for

future reference.

NOTE: A wiring diagram is located inside the dryer.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

If replacement parts are needed for your dryer, contact the
source where you purchased your dryer, or call Sears Parts
and Service Toll Free Number 1-800-4-MY-HOME (1-800-469-
4663).

Label all wires prior to disconnection when

servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the

dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers causing suffocation. Place all materials in
a garbage container or make materials inaccessible to
children.

The instructions in this manual and all other

literature included with this dryer are not meant to cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur. Good safe
practice and caution MUST be applied when installing,
operating and maintaining any appliance.
