Electric Shock Hazard
(27/8'')
Electric earthing is required on this dryer.
Do not earth to a gas pipe.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or earthing circuit.
Check with a qualified electrician to be sure the dryer is
properly earthed.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death, fire, or serious injury.
If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the earth
bond path is adequate.
AUSTRALIA ONLY
For Australia, each single electric dryer is fitted with a cord
and plug, with conductors of 2.5 mm2cross sectional area,
and should be plugged into a suitable electrical socket at the
voltage shown on the dataptate. Do not use extension lead
assemblies on commercial installations. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced with a specially terminated cord
by an authorized service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard. Each electric dryer for other countries
is supplied without an electric cord and plug.
This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It
must be connected by a competent electrician to a single-phase
electricity supply at the voltage shown on the dataptate, using
a suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance with local and
national wiring regulations.
[] A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 2.5 mm2
cross-section area should be used.
[] A 30A supply fuse should be used, and a switch having
a contact separation in both poles that provides full
disconnection under over-voltage category Ill conditions must
be incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance with local
wiring regulations. The dryer should be positioned so that the
disconnection switch is easily accessible to the user.
[] A cord clamp bush is provided on the dryer, and should
be tightened on completion of wiring. The electrical mains
terminals are located behind the small rear access panel
(terminal block cover), and connections should be made
in accordance with the terminal markings. Remember to
replace the terminal access panel (terminal block cover).
Recommended Earthing Method
[] It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer
to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with all local codes and ordinances.
5
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
ExhaustAir Flow
A. Good
B.Better
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making
turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,
or straight out the back of the dryer.
Vent System Length
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
[] Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow
of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels,
including open fires (i.e. available airflow into the room should
match airflow out from the room).
[] The dryer vent must not be discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or
other fuels, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of
a building, or any other vent used for venting.
[] Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
[] Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,
or floors.
[] 102 mm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.
[] Use clamps to seat all joints. Vent must not be connected
or secured with screws or other fastening devices which
extend into the interior of the vent. Do not use duct tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing
and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that will result in reduced airflow
and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents
and insects from entering the building.
Exhaust hood must be at least 305 mm (12") from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks, or bushes).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.
Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent
used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood.

4 8.2 m (27 ft.) 6.4 m (21 ft.)
If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom,
bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air
for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and
ordinances.) See "Recessed Area and Closet Installation
Instructions" in the "Location requirements" section.
A 102 mm (4") outlet hood is preferred. However, a 64 mm
(21/_'') outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 64 mm (2W')
outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.
Multiple Dryer Venting
[] A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. Main
vent should be sized to remove 5663 I/min (200 CFM) of air
per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be
used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the airflow of all the dryers in the
room.
[] A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a
commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the
vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into
the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the
main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.

roof, rather than through the wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on
the end of the vent at least 610 mm (24") above the highest part
of the building. The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter
13 mm (1_,)larger than the vent diameter. The vent should be
centered in the opening.
Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.
