CONNECT

DRYER TO

EXHAUST

SYSTEM

Secure all joints with clamps or duct

tape. DO NOT use sheet metal

screws or other fastening means

which extend into the duct to attach

exhaust pipe joints. They could

catch lint and reduce the efficiency

of the exhaust system.

IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct

as short as possible.

Be sure old ducts are clean before

installing your new dryer.

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust duct must be tour inches

(10.2 cm) in diameter without

obstructions. Rigid metal duct is

recommended. Non-combustible

semi-rigid flexible metal duct is

acceptable.

DO NOT use plastic pipe, foil pipe,

or flexible plastic pipe, because it

contributes to poor drying

performance and collects lint, which

can lead to a fire hazard. To identify

flexible foil or plastic duct, pinch the

coils of the duct between your

fingers. If the coils can be brought

together, do not use the duct.

(- Use

_ Rigid Metal Semirigid Metal

tt- Do Not Use

k. Flexible Foil Plastic ._

To prevent backdraft when dryer is

not in operation, outer end of

exhaust pipe must have a weather

hood with hinged dampers (obtain

locally).

Weather hood should be installed

at least 12" (30.5 cm) above the

ground. Higher clearances may be

necessary in areas where heavy

snowfall can occur.

No extra system length

consideration is necessary when

exhausting through the roof. Use

MAXIMUM EXHAUST LENGTH

table to calculate system length.

Use a roof cap that provides air

flow equal to weather hood.

Exhaust Directions

Dryer can be exhausted to the

outdoors through the back, left,

right or bottom of the dryer.

Dryer is shipped from factory ready

for rear exhaust, No kits required.

To exhaust dryer through sides or

bottom, install a DK1 Sales

Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit

528P3). Available as optional

equipment at extra cost.

Four-wire cord is required for mobile homes or where codes do not permit

grounding through neutral.

1. Remove access cover from rear of dryer.

2. Use a strain relief and insert end of power cord through power supply

hole.

3. Use the three screws from envelope located in the drum to attach the

remaining power cord wires to the terminal block as follows:

•Red wire to "LI" terminal.

• Black wire to "L2" terminal.

•White wire to Neutral terminal.

• 4-wire Plug Only--Remove ground screw and detach ground wire

from bulkhead. Attach power cord ground (green) wire to rear

bulkhead using ground screw. Attach free ground wire, previously

attached with ground screw, with white wire to the neutral (center)

terminal on the terminal block.

4. Tighten all screws and reinstall access cover removed in step 1.

Important Safety Information

About Ground Wires

In the event of anelectrical short circuit, a

ground wire reduces the risk of electric

shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current.

Standard accepted color coding for ground

wires is green or green with a yellow

stripe.

Grounding wires and wires colored like

grounding wires are NOT to be used as

current carrying conductors.

WARNING ]

To reduce the risk offire, the dryer

MUST be exhausted to the

outdoors. DO NOT exhaust dryer air

into a window well, gas vent,

chimney or enclosed, unventilated

area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,

crawl space under a building or

concealed space of a building.

To reduce the risk offire, DO NOT

use plastic pipe, foil pipe, or flexible

plastic pipe to exhaust the dryer.

Never install flexible duct in

concealed spaces, such as a wall or

ceiling.

Grounding Instructions

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system,

or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuitconductors

and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.

• Power cord (pigtail) isnot supplied with electric dryer. Type of pigtail and

gauge of wire must conform to local codes and instructions.

Method of wiring dryer is optional and subject to local code requirements.

• Connect dryer to power supply with MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE listed on

the nameplate.

•Use copper wire only. Shorter than 15' (4.5 m) use 10 A.W.G. Longer than

15" (4.5 m) use 8 A.W.G.

[WARNING I

To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock:

•Observe all local codes and

ordinances.

•Disconnect electrical power to

unit before servicing.

•Ground appliance properly.

•Check with a qualified

electrician if you are not sure

this appliance is properly

grounded.

•DO NOT ground to gas line.

•DO NOT ground to coldwater

pipe ifpipe is interrupted by

plastic, non-metallic gaskets,

or other insulating (non-

conducting) materials.

• DO NOT modify plug on power

cord. If plug does not fit

electrical outlet, have proper

outlet installed by qualified

electrician.

• DO NOT have a fuse in the

neutral or ground circuit. A fuse

in the neutral or ground circuit

could result in an electrical

shock.

• DO NOT use an extension cord

with this appliance.

• DO NOT use an adapter plug

with this appliance.

• DO NOT pinch power cord.

[ WARNING I

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring

and grounding must conform with the latest edition of the National Electric

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and

such local regulations as might apply. It is the customer's responsibilityto

have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.

Dead.on

Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for installation.

Place dryer on a solid floor in an area with an adequate air supply. A Closet door

must have a supply air vent of 40sq. in. (260 sq. cm) min.

Dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where itwill be exposed to water

and/or weather.

Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the dryer with a 1/4"driver. Allfour legs

must rest firmly on the floor sothe weight of the dryer is evenly distributed. The

dryer must not rock.

Dryer needs a 3 or 4 wire 120/240 Volt, 30 amp, 60 Hertz, 1 Phase electrical

supply. Refer to serial plate for specific requirements. Wiring diagram is located

in control hood.

Use rigid or semi-rigid duct and exhaust the dryer to the outside by the shortest

route possible. Failure to exhaust dryer properly willvoid warranty.

•Dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the mobile home structure. Dryer

exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under the mobile home.

•Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.

•Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally). Do not use

plastic or thin foil flexible ducting.

•Static pressure in the dryer's exhaust duct should be no greater than .6 inches

(1.5 cm). Check with dryer running and no load. This can be measured with a

manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from

the dryer.

For the best exhaust system

Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.

Verify old ducts are cleaned before installing new dryer.

Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigidor flexible metal duct.

Use as few elbows as possible.

Use duct tape on all joints.
