4.
Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the ductwork from your dryer
to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped.
Never use plastic flexible exhaust material
.
Tip for tight installations: install a section of exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place.
Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover ventilation slots at the back of the
unit in the dryer cabinet.
5.
Review Electrical Requirements section.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the Grounding section.
IMPORTANT
– The dryer is produced for a
3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION
.
The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.
A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8” (1cm) deep well socket.

At this time, make sure all exhaust and electrical connections are complete. Connect your dryer to the
power supply, and check operation by using the checklist below.
8.
A minimum 30A circuit breaker should be used, and a switch with a minimum contact separation of 3
mm in both poles must be incorporated into the fixed wiring for dryer disconnection. The dryer should
be positioned so that the disconnection switch is easily accessible to the user.
