EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
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. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a
minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood
and the ground or any other obstruction.
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.
Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system and create a fire
hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase dryer
times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil
duct,

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.

accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system
could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.
use any screws or rivets 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 duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be
installed downstream with the flow of air.

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.
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 or the bottom of the dryer.

CORRECT
INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION
INCORRECT
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
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back
pressure is less than 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.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ALL ELECTRIC Dryers
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.
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.
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: Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer
drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Non-Canadian ELECTRIC Dryer
2. Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
ALL GAS Dryers
1. The laundry center is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.

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
a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, 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.
Do not modify plug provided with the appliance.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be
