■ At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■ For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded, in the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and ground
ed in accordance with ail locai codes and ordinances.
■ For a permanently connected dryer:
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 equip
ment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL approved power supply cord kit marked for use with
ciothes dryers. The kit shouid contain:
■ A UL approved 30 amp power suppiy cord, rated 120/240
volt minimum. The cord should be type 3RD or SRDT and be
at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer
must end in ring terminals or spade temninals with upturned
ends.
■ A UL approved strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:
4-wire receptacle (14-30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL approved strain reiief. The 4-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 4,10 gauge solid
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacie of NEMA Type
14-30R. TTie ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green
or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white
cover.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

2. Determine vent length
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
■ The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
■ The number of elbows used.
■ Type of hood.
Recommended hood styles are shown here.
7. Louvered hood style
2. Box hood style
The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.

(10.2 CfflT
2Vi"
cm)
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
13
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in
the Vent Length Chart.
The chart below helps you determine your maximum vent
length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood
that you will use.

hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4 in. (10.2 cm)
clamp.
4, Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See “Determine Vent Length.” Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to
seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening
devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure
vent.
Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.
3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.
