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.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many important safety messages in the Installation
Instructions / Use & Care Guide and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you or others. All safety messages will
be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or "WARNING". These words mean:

DANGER

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the
instructions are not followed.

time delay fuses or circuit breakers.
Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO

NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the same 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 FOR 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 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 install a clothes dryer with flexible
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. Flexible
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.

GROUNDING PRONG

- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer must be

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.

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.

3

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, as well as increase drying
times.

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 become caught in the screen, on the

screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard
as well as increasing drying times. 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.

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.

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

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Replace copper connecting pipe that is not
plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST
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).

2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.

3. 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.

4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.

5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for

test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.

6. 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).

7. 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).
