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

WARNUNG:Only a 4-conductor cord shall 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- USE ONLY METAL 4-IN. DUCT.

DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED
IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

• Reduce the dryer life.
" Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

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

by the warranty.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length 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. Both
rigid and flexible metal duct are shown in the table below.

If using flexible metal duct, please refer to page 5.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LiST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or 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 installa screen in or over the exhaust duct. Thiscouldcauselintbuildup.
, Wall caps must be installed at least 12in. above ground level or any other

obstruction with the opening pointed down.

" If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a

4-in. dampened wall cap in regard to resistance toair flow, prevention of
back drafts, and maintenance required to prevent clogging.

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

including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90°

• One turn of 45 ° or less may be ignored.

•Two 45° turns should be treated as one 90 ° turn.
"Each turn over 45oshould be treated as one 90° turn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

•All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of

duct must point away from the dryer.

•Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct.
They will serve as a collection point for lint.

• Ductjoints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the
overlapped joints with duct tape.

• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors 1/2 inch 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.

OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

• This dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

• Use only metal duct.

• Do not terminate _'xhaust in a chimney, any gas vent,
under an enclosed floor (crawl space), or into an attic.

The accumulated lint could create a fire hazard.

- Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the
exhaust system, especially at turns. Inspect and clean at
least once a year,

o Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with a

kitchen exhaust. A combination of lint and grease could
create a fire hazard.

USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCTS

If rigid all-metal duct cannot be used, then flexible all-metal ducting

can be used, but it will reduce the maximum recommended duct

length. In special installations when it is impossible to use only
metal ducting, then UL-listed clothes dryer flexible metal transition

duct may be used as transition venting between the dryer and wail

connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time,

tf flexible transition duct is necessary, the following directions must
be followed,

• Use the Shortest Length Possible.

• Stretch the Duct to Its Maximum Length to avoid kinks.

- Do Not Crush or Collapse the Duct.

• Never Use Transition Duct Inside the Wall or
Inside the Dryer.

. Avoid Resting the Duct on Sharp Objects.

- Venting Must Conform to Local Building Codes.

[] ALCOVE OR CLOSET iNSTALLATiON

- If your dryer is approved for installation in an alcove or

closet, it will be stated on a label on the dryer back.

*The dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors. See the

EXHAUST INFORMATION sections 3 & 4.

, Minimum clearance between dryer cabinet and adjacent

walls or other surfaces is:

0 in. either side
3 in. front and rear

, Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead cabinets,

ceiling, etc. is 52 in.

, Closet doors must be louvered or otherwise ventilated and

must contain a minimum of 60 sq. in. of open area equally
distributed. If the closet contains both a washer and a

dryer, doors must contain a minimum of 120 sq. in. of open
area equally distributed.

1. Open the door and remove the filler plugs opposite the
hinges. With the door completely open, remove the
bottom screws from each hinge on the dryer face• Insert
these screws about half way into the TOP holes, for each
hinge on the opposite side (where you removed the filler

plugs). Apply firm pressure to get the screw started.

2. Loosen the top screws from each hinge on the dryer face
half way. With one hand holding the top of the door and

the other hand holding the bottom, remove the door
from the dryer by lifting it UP and OUT.

3. Rotate the door 180°. Insert the door on the opposite side
of the opening by moving the door IN and DOWN
until the top hinge and the bottom hinge are resting on
the top screws inserted in step 1.

4. Remove the remaining screws from the side of the
opening from which the door was removed. With these
screws secure each hinge at the bottom. Tighten the two
top screws on each hinge. Reinsert the plastic plugs on
