so the power supply cord isaccessible when the dryer is inthe installed position. (Canada - NEMA 14-30R receptacle.)
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. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

- Risk of Fire - 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.
Incorrect
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 afire hazard, aswell asincrease 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 seal alljoints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUSTbe 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. 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 MUSTNOTbe 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.
• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust systemto 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 mini- mum 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. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts distributor Followthe instructions supplied with the kit
