DRYER TO EXHAUST

SYSTEM

Secure all joints with clamps or duct tape. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fastening means

which extend into the duct to attach exhaust pipe joints. They could

catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system.

IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible.

Be sure old ducts are clean before installing your new dryer.

To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer end of

exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain

locally). Weather hood should be installed

at least 12" (30.5 cm) above the ground. Higher clearances may be necessary in areas where heavy

snowfall can occur. No extra system length

consideration is necessary when exhausting through the roof. Use

MAXIMUM EXHAUST LENG TH

table to calculate system length. Use a roof cap that provides air flow equal to weather hood.

Exhaust Directions

Dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left,

right or bottom of the dryer. Dryer is shipped from factory ready

for rear exhaust. No kits required. To exhaust dryer through sides or

bottom, install a DK1 Sales Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3). Available as optional equipment at extra cost.

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust duct must be four inches

(10.2 cm) in diameter without obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible

semi-rigid flexible metal duct is acceptable.

DO NOT use plastic pipe, foil pipe, or flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard. To identify flexible foil or plastic duct, pinch the coils of the duct between your fingers. If the coils can be brought together, do not use the duct.

3. Use the three screws from envelope located in the drum to attach the remaining power cord wires to the terminal block as follows:

• Red wire to "L1" terminal.

• Black wire to '%2" terminal.

• White wire to Neutral terminal.

• 4-wire Plug Only--Remove ground screw and detach ground wire

from bulkhead. Attach power cord ground (green) wire to rear

bulkhead using ground screw. Attach free ground wire, previously attached with ground screw, with white wire to the neutral (center) terminal on the terminal block.

4. Tighten all screws and reinstall access cover removed in step 1.

Important Safety Information

Grounding Instructions

About Ground Wires

In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric

shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Standard accepted color coding tbr ground

wires is green or green with a yellow

stripe.

Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.

] WARNING I

To reduce the risk of fire, the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a

window well, gas vent, chimney or

enclosed, unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or concealed space of a building.

] WARNING I

To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic pipe, foil pipe, or flexible

plastic pipe to exhaust the dryer. Never install flexible duct in

concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

] WARNING]

To avoid risk of personal injury or death:

• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close

supervision of children is

necessary when the appliance is used near children.

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.

• Power cord (pigtail) is not supplied with electric dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and instructions.

Method of wiring dryer is optional and subject to local code requirements.

• Connect dryer to power supply with MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE listed on the nameplate.

• Use copper wire only. Shorter than 15' (4.5 m) use 10 A.W.G. Longer than

15" (4.5 m) use 8 A.W.G.

To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock:

• Observe all local codes and ordinances.

• Disconnect electrical power to unit before servicing.

• Ground appliance properly.

• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure

this appliance is properly grounded.

• DO NOT ground to gas line.

• DO NOT ground to cold water pipe.

• DO NOT modify plug on power cord. If plug does not fit

electrical outlet, have proper

I WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and such local regulations as might apply. It is the customer's responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.

WARNING ]

outlet installed by qualified electrician.

• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. A fuse

in the neutral or ground circuit could result in an electrical

shock.

• DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.

• DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

• DO NOT pinch power cord.

Description

Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for installation. Place dryer on a solid floor in an area with an adequate air supply. A Closet door

must have two supply air vents with a minimum of 40sq. in. (260 sq. cm) each (see diagram).

Dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the dryer with a 1/4"driver. All four legs must rest firmly on the floor so the weight of the dryer is evenly distributed. The dryer must not rock.

Dryer needs a 3 or 4 wire 120/240 Volt, 30 amp, 60 Hertz, 1 Phase electrical supply. Refer to serial plate for specific requirements. Wiring diagram is located

in control hood.

Use rigid or semi-rigid duct and exhaust the dryer to the outside by the shortest route possible. Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.

• Dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the mobile home structure. Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under the mobile home.

• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.

• Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally). Do not use plastic or thin foil flexible ducting.

• Static pressure in the dryer's exhaust duct should be no greater than .6 inches (1.5 cm). Check with dryer running and no load. This can be measured with a

manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from the dryer.

For the best exhaust system

Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.

Verify old ducts are cleaned before installing new dryer.

Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct. Use as few elbows as possible.

Use duct tape on all joints.
