WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instruc-
•
tions.
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
•
Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance
•
with local codes.
This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
•
Use only 4” rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the
•
outdoors.
DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If
•
flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be UL listed
and installed in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting The
Dryer 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 could be
•
exposed to water and or weather.
Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions with
•
the customer).
NOTE: Installation and service of this dryer requires basic
mechanical and electrical skills. It is your responsibility to
contact a qualified installer to make the electrical connections.

2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
INFORMATION
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND PERSONAL
INJURY:
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN
ADAPTER PLUG WITH TH IS APPLIANCE.
Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This dryer must be connected to an individual branch circuit,
protected by the required time-delay fuses or circuit breakers. A
four or three-wire, single phase, 120/240V or 120/208V, 60Hz,
30 amp circuit is required.
If the electric supply does not meet the above specifications, then
call a licensed electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding 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
WARNING: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.

3 EXHAUST INFORMATION
WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED
STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER
IS 4 IN (102mm). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER
THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
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 UL listed transition duct.
The MAXIMUM 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.
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

HOOD OR WALL CAP
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
• 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 install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
• 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 turn and exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90º
• One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.
• Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.
• Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.
SEALING OF JOI NTS
• 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.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the
overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors ½ 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.
3
This could cause lint build up.
