a separate 3(lampere circuit, fused on
both sides of the line. (Time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended.)
2. This washer/dryer is equipped with a fourwire, 30-amp rated flexible-type power
supply cord. It must be plugged into a
mating 30-amp receptacle (NEMA-type

Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct.
l
Do Not use metal duct smaller than
10.2 cm (4 In) In diameter.
l
Do Not use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
l
Check that exhaust system Is not longer
than speclfled. Exhaust systems longer
than speclfled will:
- Accumulate Ilnt.
- Shorten the II18 of the product.
- Reduce performance and result In
longer drying times and Increased
energy usage.
Failure to follow speclflcatlons may result
In a flre.
l
Do Not exhaust the dryer Into a
chimney, furnace cold alr duct, attlc or
crawl space, or any other duct used
for venting.
l
Clean the exhaust system every other
year.
l
Do Not Install flexible duct under wall,
celling or rloor materials.
Accumulated lint could be fuel for a flre
or cause moisture damage.
l
Exhausting your dryer Indoors Is Not
recommended. The moisture and lint
Indoors may cause:
- Lint to gather lnslde and around the
dryer and be a fuel for rlre.
- Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
- Housecleanlng problems and
posslble health problems.
Failure to follow these lnstructlons could
result In fire damage, personal InJury or
health problems.
If uslng an exlstlng exhaust system, clean lint
from entlre length of exhaust system. Make
sure exhaust hood Is not plugged with Ilnt.
