ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
i 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
NOToperate 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 use with 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 in accordance with local codes and (3) connect
neutral terminal or lead to branch circuit neutral in usual manner (if the appliance is to 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 SRDT or 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.)
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metalduct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in 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 any other
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. Excessivelint 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 isnot 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.

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 increase drying 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 sealalljoints 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. Setthe dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Readthe measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUSTNOT be higher than
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back pressure is lessthan 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 system to down drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction.
• Running the exhaust systemthrough 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 18months 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.
