WARNING - THIS DRYER IS EQUIPPED A

THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING) PLUG FOR YOUR

PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND

SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROP-

ERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE.

DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING

PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and connected
to a properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15- or
20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. If electrical supply
provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recom-
mended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

INFORMATION

        

 WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND PERSONAL INJURY:

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN

ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance

with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of

local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELEC-

TRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.

6 EXHAUST INFORMATION

        

DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE 

EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

 Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

 Reduce the dryer life.

 Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered

by the warranty.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE duct length and number of bends

of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number

of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions

noted below. The maximum exhaust length for rigid metal duct 

is shown in the table below. 

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALLCAP

Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or
other wildlife.

Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow
and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This could cause lint
build up.

 Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level or any

other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct,
including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90°

 One turn of 45°  or less may be ignored.

 Two 45°  turns should be treated as one 90°  turn.

 Each turn over 45°  should be treated as one 90°  turn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

 All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of

duct must point away from the dryer.

 The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other fastening means

that extend into the duct and catch lint.

 Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the

overlapped joints with duct tape.

 Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors 1/2 inch per foot.

INSULATION

Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning
should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
