ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
j ELECTRICDryer
CIRCUIT- Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30
amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers.
Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO
NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
EXHA US T SYS TEM REQ UIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. Toavoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or anyother obstruction.
POWER SUPPLY- 3 wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60
Hz, Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT - The dryer MUST employ a 3-
conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDTrated at
240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers.
WARNING - Risk of Shock. Appliance grounded to neutral
conductor through a link. Grounding through the neutral link is
prohibited for (1) New branch circuit installations (2) mobile
homes; (3) recreational vehicles; and (4) areaswhere local codes
do not permit grounding through the neutral, (1) disconnect the
link from the neutral, (2) use grounding terminal or lead to
ground appliance in accordance with local codes and (3) connect
neutral terminal or lead to branch circuit neutral in usual manner
(if the appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use
4-conductor cord for this purpose). USECOPPERCONDUCTOR
ONLY. The dryer MUST employ a 4-conductor power supply
cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST(as required) rated at 240
volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 4 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers. See ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONSFORA 4-WIRE SYSTEM.
(Canada - 4-wire power supply cord is installed on dryer.)
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow
these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible
plastic venting materials. If your present system is made up
of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible
metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil type)
duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the
appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers
and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL standard 2158A. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. Theseconditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and
increaseth e risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE- NEMA 10-30R receptacle to be located
so the power supply cord isaccessible when the dryer is inthe
installed position. (Canada - NEMA 14-30R receptacle.)

- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer must be
exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a
wall, a ceilinq, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space
of a building A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the
dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled
into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the
home can create a health and fire hazard. The dryermust be
connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding
area.
Do not allow combustible materials (for
example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be
exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed
space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire
hazard.
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number
of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can
cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging
the system could create a fire hazard, aswell as increase drying
times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws, rivets or other fastening means
that extend into the duct and catch lint to assemble the
exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the
screwsor rivets, clogging the duct work and creating afire hazard
aswell as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and sealalljoints with duct tape.
All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with
the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If
the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18
inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, fire or burns.

I. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the
dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Setthe dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool
down) and start the dryer.
3. Readthe measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUSTNOTbe higherthan
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back
pressure is lessthan 0.75 inches of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is
higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is
too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the
performance of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust
system to down drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction.
• Running the exhaust systemthrough an uninsulated
area may cause condensation and faster accumulation
of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of every 18months with normal usage. The more the
dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left
side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers,
exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet orthe bottom of
the dryer. Directional exhausting can beaccomplished by installing
Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts
distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
