8 Installation Requirements
Exhaust system requirements, continued
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. DO NOT exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, 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 dryer must 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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
•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.
•DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.
WARNING
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, as well as increase drying times.

Exhaust system requirements, continued
WARNING
FIRE 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.
In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1.Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2.Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3.Read the measurement on the manometer.
4.The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Install male fittings in correct direction:
Correct |
Incorrect |
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 vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
•Running the exhaust system through 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 18 months with normal usage.
The more the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation and that it is free of obstructions.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1.Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2.Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.
3.If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to a non-combustible portion of the mobile home structure.
4.Refer to previous sections in this guide for other important exhaust venting system requirements.
5.When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

12 Installation Instructions
Electrical installation
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can create electrical shock and/or a fire hazard.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
•This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
•DO NOT use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not designed to withstand the
amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation requirements in this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
•A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can
be cut by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
•DO NOT use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
NOTE
Grounding requirements - Electric dryer (USA)
WARNING
Improper grounding of the dryer may cause serious injury or death. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1.The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2.After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4 wire power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug that matches your wiring system, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3.DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed on this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dryer:
The 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-ground- ing terminal or lead on the appliance.
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt power supply.
