rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is

free of any tint prior to installing dryer duct.

6 Installation Requirements

Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a

ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed

space of a building. A clothes dryer produces

combustible tint. If the dryer is not exhausted

outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the

laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area

of the home can create a health and fire hazard.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust

outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust

opening and remove any accumulation of lint

around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the

surrounding area.

FIRE HAZARD

Do not allow combustible materials (for

example: clothing, draperies!curtains, paper)

to come in contact with exhaust system. The

dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney,

a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a

building which can accumulate tint, resulting in

a fire hazard.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent

system, or use any screws, rivets or other

fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble

the exhaust system. Lint can become caught

in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging

the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well

as increasing drying times. Use an approved

vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and

seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct

pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream

with the flow of air.

FIRE HAZARD

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number

of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH"

charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the

exhaust system. Plugging the system could

create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying

times.

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by

installing a quick-turn 90 ° dryer vent elbow directly

to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbow's are

available through your local parts distributor or

hardware store.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the

next page.

NOTE

Use of 90 ° quick-turn elbow required to meet

minimum installation depth.

Installation Requirements 7

Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other

flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is

installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18

inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so

can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.

Install male fittings in correct direction:

CORRECT INCORRECT

In installations where the exhaust system is not

described in the charts, the following method must

be used to determine if the exhaust system is

acceptable:

1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer

between the dryer and the point the exhaust

connects to the dryer.

2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff

(coot down) and start the dryer.

3. Read the measurement on the manometer.

4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be

higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the

system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of

water column, the system is acceptable. If the

manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of

water column, the system is too restrictive and

the installation is unacceptable.

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system

is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances

could affect the performance of the dryer:

Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.

,, Venting vertically through a roof may expose

the exhaust system to down drafts causing an

increase in vent restriction.

Running the exhaust system through an

uninsulated area may cause condensation and

faster accumulation of lint.

o Compression or crimping of the exhaust system

will cause an increase in vent restriction.

The exhaust system should be inspected and

cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with

normal usage. The more the dryer is used,

the more often you should check the exhaust

system and vent hood for proper operation.

Manufactured or mobile home installation

1. Installation MUST conform to current

Manufactured Home Construction & Safety

Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the

Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction

and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard

CAN/CSAZ240 MH.

2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not

beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting

that will not support combustion. Metal ducting

must be 4 inches (10.16 cm)in diameter with no

obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.

3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and

area beneath the mobile home is enclosed,

the exhaust system MUST terminate outside

the enclosure with the termination securely

fastened to the mobile home structure.

4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other

important exhaust venting system requirements.

5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home,

a provision must be made for outside make up

air. This provision is to be not less than twice

the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

Installation instructions

Eiectricai installation

The following are specific requirements for proper

and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure

to follow these instructions can create electrical

shock and/or a fire hazard.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

This appliance MUST be properly grounded.

Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not

properly grounded. Follow the instructions in

this manual for proper grounding.

Do not use an extension cord with this dryer.

Some extension cords are not designed to

withstand the amounts of electrical current this

dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical

shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer

within reach of the receptacle for the length

power cord to be purchased, allowing some

slack in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation

requirements in this manual for the proper

power cord to be purchased.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

A U.L-approved strain relief must be installed

onto power cord. If the strain relief is not

attached, the cord can be pulled out of the

dryer and can be cut by any movement of the

cord, resulting in electrical shock.

Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with

a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice

versa). A chemical reaction occurs between

copper and aluminum and can cause electrical

shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a

copper wired power cord with a copper wired

receptacle.

NOTE

Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will

have longer drying times than dryers operating

on 240 volt power supply.

Grounding requirements -Electric dryer (USA}

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.

Check with a licensed electrician if you are in

doubt as to whether the appliance is properly

grounded.

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of

a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of

least resistance for electrical current.

2. After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4

wire power supply cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug

that matches your wiring system, the plug

MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper

wired receptacle that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.

3. DO NOT modify the plug you've installed on

this appliance. If it wilt not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system; or an
