EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

 The following are specific requirements for

proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow

these instructions can create excessive drying times and

fire hazards.

  Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer.

Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system and create a
fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase
dryer times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct.

Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing

dryer duct.

 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 building can create a health and fire hazard. 

The

dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outside of

the building!

 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 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.

 Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use

any screws or rivets 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 duct tape. All male duct pipe
fittings 

MUST

 be installed downstream with the flow of air.

 

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.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools and Materials Required for Installation:

 1.  Phillips head screwdriver.
 2.  Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
 3.  Carpenter's level.
 4.  Flat or straight blade screwdriver.
 5.  Duct tape.
 6.  Rigid or flexible metal 4 inch (10.2 cm) duct.
 7.  Vent hood.
 8.  Pipe thread sealer (Gas).
 9.  Plastic knife.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRIC Dryer

CIRCUIT

 - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp.

minimum time delay fuses or circuit breakers.

POWER SUPPLY

 - 3 wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz,

POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT

 - The dryer 

MUST

 employ a 3-

conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated at
240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers, 

OR

 a 4-conductor power

supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required) rated at
240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 4 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers. See ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS FOR A 4-WIRE SYSTEM.

OUTLET RECEPTACLE

 - NEMA 10-30R  or 14-30R receptacle to

be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the
dryer is in the installed position.
