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 lint. If the dryer

is not exhausted outdoors, some ﬁ ne lint

will be expelled into the laundry area. An

accumulation of lint in any area of the home

can create a health and ﬁ re hazard.

WARNING

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 ﬁ re hazard, as well as increase drying

times.

WARNING

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

lint, resulting in a ﬁ re 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 ﬁ re 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

ﬁ ttings MUST be installed downstream with

the ﬂ ow of air.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

● Do not install ﬂ exible plastic or ﬂ exible foil

venting material.

● If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed

8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length.

Installation Requirements

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:

Exhaust system requirements, continued

CORRECT

INCORRECT

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 ﬂ uﬀ

(cool 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 aﬀ ect 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.

● 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 ﬂ oor and

area beneath the mobile home is enclosed,

the exhaust system MUST terminate outside

the enclosure with the termination securely

fastened to a non-combustible portion of 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

Installation Instructions

Electrical installation

NOTE

Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will

have longer drying times than dryers operating

on 240 volt power supply.

The following are speciﬁ c requirements for

proper and safe electrical installation of your

dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can

create electrical shock and/or a ﬁ re hazard.

Grounding requirements - Electric dryer (USA)

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

providing 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 will not ﬁ t the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁ ed

electrician.

For a permanently connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system; or an

equipment grounding conductor must be run

with the circuit conductors and connected to

the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the appliance.

WARNING

Improper grounding of the dryer may cause

serious injury or death. Check with a licensed

electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the appliance is properly grounded.

WARNING

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 ﬁ re 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.
