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.

• [his dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. [f 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 icenter

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[. lister( power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should

contain:

• A UI. listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated I20/240 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 U[ listed strain relief.

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.

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.

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 or flexible heavy metal vent.

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

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.

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. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

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.

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.

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

performance.

Vent system chart

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90 ° turn inside the dryer. To determine

maximum exhaust length, add one 90 ° turn to the chart.
