WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK 

OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND 

PERSONAL INJURY:

Pull the vent protection bracket

out until it stops, and let it rest on 

the floor. The bracket prevents 

the unit from moving too close 

to the wall and crushing the 

rear vent. Prolong by adding a 

DASHED FLEXIBLE duct.

Tilt the dryer sideways

and remove the foam

shipping pads by

pulling at the sides

and breaking them

away from the dryer

legs. Be sure to

remove all of the

foam pieces around

the legs.

Minimum Clearance Other Than Alcove or Closet Installation

Minimum clearance to combustible surfaces and for air opening are: 0 cm (0 in.)  clearance both sides and 2.5 cm (1 in.) rear.

must 

be given to provide adequate clearance for installation and service.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AND 

ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance 

with local codes and ordinances.  Installation must be 

in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian 

Electrical code part 1.  Improper connection of the 

equipment-grounding conductor can result in an electric 

shock.  Check with a qualified electrician or service 

representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to 

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance:  if it 

will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a 

qualified electrician.

This dryer must be connected to an individual branch 

circuit, protected by the required time-delay fuses or 

circuit breakers.  The power supply must be of 120/240 

volts, 60 Hz circuit with the wall receptacle as shown 

below:

The power supply must be protected with 30 Amp fuses or 

breakers.  It must be well grounded and conform to local 

codes.

This appliance must be grounded.  In the event of malfunction 

or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical 

shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical 

current.  This appliance is equipped with a cord having an 

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.  

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is 

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local 

codes and ordinances.
