ordinances.

The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire power supply connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home

installations. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection

Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. [b supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical

supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate)

on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in

the neutral or grounding circuit.

Do not use an extension cord. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified

electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

[b properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will

be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a C-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green

screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center

or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral

conductor. If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,

see "Optional 3-wire connection" section. A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a

location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding

through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile

homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding

through the neutral conductors.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a U[. listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should

contain: [] A U] listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be

type SRD 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 terminals with upturned ends.

[] A UL listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire" re'cept_cle' (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UI. listed strain

relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 fl (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white

cover.

If your outlet looks like this:

FireHazard

Useaheavy 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.

WARNING: lb reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or a concealed space of a building.

If using an existing vent system Clamps

• 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 or flexible heavy metal vent.

• Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if necessary to achieve the best drying performance.

Rigid metal vent

• For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.

• Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking. Flexible metal vent

• Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.

• Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final

location.

• Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in

reduced airflow and poor performance.

• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

Elbows

45 ° elbows provide better airflow than 90 ° elbows.

Good Better

Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices

that extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.

If this is a new vent system

Vent material

• Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

• 4" (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be used.

4" ( 10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent

• An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.

• Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc./.

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,

carpets, etc.

[] Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Choose your exhaust installation type

Optional exhaust installations This dryer can be converted to exhaust out the right side, left side or through the bottom. If

you prefer, you may contact your local dealer to have the dryer converted.

Fire Hazard

Cover unused exhaust holes with one of the following kits:

279818 (white) 279820 (black)

280102 (pacific blue)

Contact your local dealer.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, electrical shock, or serious injury.

Determine vent path

• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.

• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

• Use the fewest 90 ° turns possible.

Special provisions for mobile home installations The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home

structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. lerminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance

• Use the following Vent system chart to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust

systems longer than those specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

[he Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying

performance.
