* To reduce the risk of severe i_i m T or death, fbllow all installation instruc-

tions.

* Clothes d_Ter insmlla6on must be performed by a qualified installer. * Install the clothes d_Ter according to these instructions and in accordance

with local codes.

* This d_Ter must be exhausted to the outdoors. * Use only 4" rigid metal duc6ng for exbaus6ng the clothes d_Ter to the

outdoors.

* DO NOT install a clothes d,Ter with flexible plastic ducdng materials. If

flexible metal (semi-rigid or fbil-type) duct is installed, it must be UL listed and installed in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting The D,Ter To House Vent" on page 5 of this manual. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

* Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it coukt be

exposed to water and or weather.

* Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions with

Dwer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local

codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRI- CAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This dryer must be connected to an individual branch circuit, protected by the required time-delay fllses or circuit breakers. A Ibm or three-wire, single phase, 120/240V or 120/208V, 60Hz,

30 amp circuit is required.

If the electric supply does not meet the aboxe specifications, then

call a licensed electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipmen/-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment- grounding terminal on the appliance.

CONNECTING DRYER USING 4-WIRE CONNECTION (MUST BE USED FOR

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION)

NOTES: Since January 1,1996, the National Electric code requires that the new constructions utilize a 4-wire connection to

an electric dryer

t_WARNING:only a 4-conductor cord shah be used when the

appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for the new branch-circuit installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conduction.

EXHAUST INFORMATION

_WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED

STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER

IS 4 IN (102ram). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Lsing exhaust longer than specified length wilh

" Increase the drying times and tile energy cost. , Reduce the ch)_er life.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered

by the warranty.

Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition duct and replace with LL listed transition duct.

Tlle MAXIML M ALLOWABLE duct length and number of bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct length for rigid

metal duct is shown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST

HOOD OR WALL (AP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts o1 entry of birds or other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.This could cause lint build up.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct,

including distance between last ttHn and exhaust hood. TURNS OTHER THAN 90°

* Oile tt_in of 45 ° or less may be ignored.

* TWO45 ° ttH'i1S should be treated as one 90 ° ttH'i1.

, Each ttH'n over 45 ° should be treated as one 90 ° ttwn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• _Mljoints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away flom the dryer.

Do not assemble the d uctwork with fasteners that extend into the d t_ct.

They will serve as a collection point for lint.

Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the

overlapped joints with d t_ct rope.

Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors _½inch per foot

INSULATION Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning

should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
