ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

i ELECTRIC Dryer

CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay

fuses or circuit breaker.

Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO NOT operate

a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.

POWER SUPPLY - 3 wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz,Alternating

Current.

POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT - The dryer MUST employ a S-conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDTrated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with S 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 (I)

New branch circuit installations (2) mobile homes; (;3)recreational vehicles;

and (4) areas where 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). USE COPPER CONDUCTOR 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 ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS FOR A 4-WIRE

SYSTEM. (Canada - 4-wire power supply cord is installed on dryer.)

OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R receptacle to be located so the

power supply cord is accessible when the dryer is in the instalbd position. (Canada - NEMA 14-30R receptacle.)

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cra) 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 any other obstruction.

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 present

system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to

installing dryer duct.

rrf_[nn_ - Risk of Fire - 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.

or any concealed space of a building which carl accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.

allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts carl cause an accumuBtion of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard,

as well as increase drying times.

nor 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.

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.

1/2 psig (:3.45 kPa).

INSTALLMALEFITTINGSINCORRECTDIRECTION

Ininstallationswheretheexhaustsystemisnotdescribedinthecharts,the followingmethodmustbeusedtodetermineiftheexhaustsystemisac- ceptable:

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.TB inches of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 0.7B 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 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 witt_ 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. Howevel; 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. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

2. In an area where itwill come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54

cm).

INSTALLATION IN RECESS OR CLOSET

1. A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or closet, MUST be exhausted outdoors.

2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet as the Gas dryer.
