G PRONG

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 dothes 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 semi- rigid metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil type) duct isinstalled, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for usewith clothes dry- ers and inthe 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.

iI _ i i_i

Correct

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.

- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer must be ex-

hausted 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.

Do not allow combustible materials (for ex-

ample: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in con- tact with exhaust system. Thedryer MUSTNOT 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 num-

ber of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts

can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plug- ging the system could create afire hazard, as well as increase drying times.

NOT RECOMMENDED

In installations where the exhaust system is not described inthe 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. Setthe dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.

3. Read the measurement on the manometer.

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 haz- ard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and sealalljoints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUSTbe installed downstream

with the flow of air.

4. The system back pressureMUSTNOTbe higher than 0.75 inches of water column. Ifthe system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water column, the system isacceptable. If the manometer reading ishigher than 0.75 inchesof water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system isacceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:

• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.

• Ventingverticalthrougharoofmayexposetheexhaustsystem todowndraftscausinganincreaseinventrestriction.

Runningtheexhaustsystemthroughanuninsulatedareamay causecondensationandfasteraccumulationoflint.

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 beto the right side of the cabinet orthe bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by install- ing ExhaustKit, P/N131456800, available through your parts dis- tributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

I ELECTR/CDryer I

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 pro-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 isnot attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut byany movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.

Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with

a copper wiredpower cord andplug (or vice versa). A chemical

reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptade 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

I USA ELECTR/CDryer 1

Improper connection of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt asto whether the appliance

isproperly grounded.

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUSTbe grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electricalshock by a path of least resistancefor electrical current.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt asto whether the appliance

isproperly grounded. Fora 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.

Since your dryer isequipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the

plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that isproperly 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.

ALL GASDryers

1.The dryer isequipped 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.

GAS CONNECTION

Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the

dryer.

NOTE: DO NOTconnect the dryer to L.R gas servicewithout converting the gasvalve.An L.Rconversion kit must be installed

by a qualified gas technician.

2.Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm)I.D, semi-rigid or approved pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on

the back of the dryer (seepages 6 and 7). Use a 1/2 inch to 3/ 8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for a connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe connections.

3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to allow gas to flow through pipe.

4. Test all connections by brushing on asoapy water solution.

NEVER test for gas leaks with an open flame.

If your dryer isequipped 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. ThedryerMUSTbe 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-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
