end spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop
connectors and marked for use with clothes dryers. If being
installed in a new branch circuit installation, manufactured
(mobile) home, recreational vehicle or area which prohibits
grounding through the neutral conductor, the laundry center
MUST employ a 4-condutor 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 CONNECTIONS. (Canada - 4-wire

CIRCUIT - Individual 15 amp minimum branch circuit fused with
a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY -3 wire, 120 volt single phase, 60 Hz,
Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD -The gas laundry center is equipped
with a 120 volt 3-wire power cord.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches
(106.68 cm) of your laundry center’s water inlet. The faucets
MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type so inlet hoses can
be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120
pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs.
cold, 10 psi). Your water department can advise you of your
water pressure.
NEMA 10-30R
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, as well 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
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.
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. The exhaust system back pressure
MUST not exceed 0.6 inches (1.52 cm) of water column,
measured with an inclined manometer at the point the exhaust
connects to the dryer. 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.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the
type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood.
The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in
the chart below.

inch (10.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit will
be positioned about 4½ inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall
(flush to wall exhausting may be done by going below the dryer
then sideways).
An exhaust hood positioned
to line up with the dryer
exhaust can be installed
directly through the outside
wall. To exhaust to the side
or down, add an 8 inch
(20.32 cm) length of standard
4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter
duct and a 90° elbow.
