ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with electrical installation, install the
dryer's coin-metering system (when used) in accordance
with the separate instructions provided with the meter .
ALL ELECTRIC Dryers
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 preinstallation requirements in this manual for the proper power
cord to be purchased.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The 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 equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
ALL GAS Dryers
This dryer is equipped 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 this plug.
A U.L. listed strain relief must be installed onto power
cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled
out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord,
resulting in electrical shock.
Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper
wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction
occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical
shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle 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
ELECTRIC Dryer
DANGER
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.
Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a 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.
Improper connection of the equipment
2. If your dryer is equipped 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.

• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the ex
haust system to down drafts causing an increase in
vent restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumu
lation 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 6 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 inst alling

CORRECT
INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION
INCORRECT
In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the
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. 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 MUST NOT be 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.
