ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

j ELECTRICDryer

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

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 3-

conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDTrated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 3 open end spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for usewith clothes dryers.

WARNING - Risk of Shock. Appliance grounded to neutral conductor through a link. Grounding through the neutral link is prohibited for (1) 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 inaccordance with local codes and (3) connect

neutral terminal or lead to branch circuit neutral in usualmanner (if the appliance isto be connected by means of a cord kit, use

4-conductor cord for this purpose). USECOPPERCONDUCTOR ONLY. The dryer MUST employ a 4-conductor power supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDTor 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

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

EXHA US T SYS TEM REQ UIREMENTS

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 isin 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 anyother 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.

Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust

the dryer. 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, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior

to installing dryer duct.

_- 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.

incorrect

DON'T

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 a fire hazard, aswell as increasedrying times.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent

system, nor use any screws or rivets 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 anincrease invent 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 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. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

In installations where the exhaust system isnot described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system isacceptable:

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Replace copper connecting pipe that is not

plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST

be used.

I. Installation MUSTconform with local codes, or in the absence

of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).

2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.

3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect

your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be

constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.

4. The gas supply line MUSThave an individual shutoff valve.

5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T.plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream

of the gas supply connection to the dryer.

6. The dryer MUSTbe disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressuretesting of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in excessof I/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or lessthan 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

LOCATION OF YOUR DRYER

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER:

I. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.

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

3. On carpet. Floor MUSTbe solid with a maximum slope of I inch (2.54 cm).

INSTALLATION IN RECESSOR CLOSET

1. A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recessor closet, MUSTbe exhausted outdoors.

2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet asthe Gasdryer.

3. Your dryer needs the space around it for proper ventilation.

DO NOT install your dryer in a closet with a solid door

4. A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Air openings are required to be unobstructed when a door isinstalled. A Iouvered door with equivalent air openings for the full

length of the door isacceptable.

Solid Door Reversing Instructions:

I. Open door and remove four (4) plugs inthe door opening

opposite the hinges. Retain all parts for uses later, un- less otherwise noted. Note: Use care in removing plugs

in not scratching paint on the front panel.

REMOVE 4 SCREWS (ONE FROM EACH

HINGE FIRST)

Begin removing the four (4) screws that attach the hinge

to the front panel. Forbest results, start by only removing

one screw per hinge. Then only loosen the two remaining screws while firmly holding door to prevent damage to

hinge, front panel or door. After the remaining screws are loosened, continue to remove all.
