DRYER SAFETY

Before beginning installation, carefully read these instructions. This will simplify the installation and ensure the dryer
is installed correctly and safely. Leave these instructions near the Dryer after installation for future reference.

NOTE: The electrical service to the Dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

NOTE: The gas service to the Dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICDrver

CIRCUIT - Individual 30 annp. branch circuit fused with 30 annp.
tinne delay fuses or circuit breakers.

Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO

NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the sanne circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 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 SRDT rated 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. If being installed in a new
branch circuit installation, manufactured (mobile) home,
recreational vehicle or area which prohibits grounding through
the neutral conductor, 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
CONNECTIONS LOR A 4-WIRE SYSTEM.

OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R or 14-30R receptacle to
be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the dryer
is in the installed position.

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the clampers 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.

WARNING

proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow

these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.

ik WARNING

plastic venting materials. If your present system is made up

of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible
metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil type)
duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the
appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers
and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for

Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL standard 2158A. Elexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and

increase the risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of

any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

exhausted outdoors Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space

of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the

dryer is not 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.

A WARNING

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.

ià WARN ING

I Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number

of elbows allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can
cause an accunnulation of lint in the exhaust systenn. Plugging
the systenn could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying
tinnes.

ià WARNING

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws, rivets or other fastening means
that extend into the duct and catch lint to assemble the
exhaust system. Lint can beconne caught in the screen, on the

screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard
as well as increasing drying tinnes. Use an approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape.
All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with
the flow of air.

ik WARNING

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.

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.

• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust system

to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.

• Running the exhaust system through 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 18 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 installing

Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts
distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

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.
Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down)
and start the dryer.

Read the measurement on the manometer.

be used.

1 Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence

of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(latest edition).
The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect
your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be
constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.RT plugged tapping, accessible for
test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
