Installing the Optional Drain Hose
Normally, condensed water is pumped up to the
water container where water is collected until
manually emptied. It may be more convenient to
drain water to an external drain, especially when
the appliance is stacked on top of a washing
machine.
Use the connecting T piece to reroute the drainage
as shown below.
1 Remove the anti-backflow cap a and
disconnect the water container hose b from
the T piece.
2 Attach the anti-backflow cap a to the top of
the T piece and connect the optional drain
hose
c to the bottom of the T piece.
CAUTION
• If the drain hose is kinked or pinched, it will not
drain properly.
Connecting Electric Dryers
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric
shock, property damage, injury to persons, or
death when using this appliance, fulfill the
following requirements.
Electrical Requirements
• The wiring and grounding must conform to the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 and all applicable local
regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician
to check your home’s wiring and fuses to ensure
that your home has adequate electrical power to
operate the dryer.
• This dryer must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
dryer.
• The dryer has its own terminal block that must
be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz,
single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the
circuit must be fused on both sides of the line).
ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD
BE OF THE MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON
THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT THE DRYER
TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT.
• If the branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or
less in length, use UL (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. If over
15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire
(copper wire only), or as required by local codes.
Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the dryer can
be moved from its normal location when
necessary.
• The power cord (pigtail) connection between the
wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block IS
NOT supplied with the dryer. Type of pigtail and
gauge of wire must conform to local codes and
with instructions on the following pages.
• Do not modify the plug and internal wire
provided with the dryer.
• The dryer should be connected to a 4-hole
outlet.
• If the plug does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet
will need to be installed by a qualified electrician.
• Connect the power cord to the terminal block.
Each colored wire should be connected to the
same color screw. Wire color indicated on
manual is connected to the same color screw in
the block.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit
installations and (2) areas where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor.
• This dryer is supplied with the neutral wire
grounded. This white ground wire MUST BE
MOVED to the neutral terminal when a 4-wire
cord is to be used, or where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited.
