Directional Exhaust Kit

DK1 Sales Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit #528P3).

Flexible Metal Vent Kit

Exhausting the dryer in hard-to- reach locations can be accom-

plished by installing Kit # 521P3.

TO EXHAUST CONNECT DRYER

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 considera-

tion is necessary when exhausting through the roof. Use MAXIMUM

EXHAUST LENGTH 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 out- doors through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer.

Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust. No kits required.

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 perform- ance 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 fin- gers. If the coils can be brought

together, do not use the duct.

1. Remove access cover from rear of dryer.

2. Use a strain relief and insert end of power cord through power supply hole.

3. Use the three screws from env- elope located in the drum to

attach the remaining power cord wires to the terminal block as

follows:

• Red wire to "LI" 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 termi- nal block.

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

Important Safety Information

About Ground Wires Unthe event of an eUectricaUshort

circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of eUectric shock by providing

an escape wire for the eUectric current.

Standard accepted coUorcoding for ground wires is green or green

with a yettow stripe. Grounding wires and wires coUored

Hke grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.

A 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 riskof 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.

Grounding Instructions

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.

I A WARNING I

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 if pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other insulating (non-conducting)

materials.

• DO NOT modify plug on power cord. If plug does not fit electri- cal outlet, have proper outlet installed by qualified electrician.

• DO NOT have a fuse in the neu- tral 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.

A WARNING I

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 appli-

ance is used near children.

A WARNING I

To avoid injury or death due to suffocation, remove door to dryer compartment before appliance is removed from

service or discarded.

I A WARNING I

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, ANSl/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.
