Installation
1. Turn offthe circuit breaker(s)(30 amp) or remove the dryer's
circuit fuse at the electrical box.
2. Be sure the dryer cord is unplugged from the wall receptacle.
3. Remove the power cord cover located at the lower back.
4. Remove and discard ground strap. Keep the green ground screw
for step 7.
5. Install 3/4 in. UL recognized strain relief to power cord entry hole.
Bring power cord through strain reliefi
6. Connect power cord as follows:
A. Connect the 2 hot lines to the outer screws of the terminal
block (marked L1 and L2).
B. Connect the neutral (white) line to the center of the terminal
block (marked N).
7. Attach ground wire of power cord with the green ground screw
(hole above strain relief bracket). Tighten all terminal block
screws (3) completely.
8. Properly secure power cord to strain relief.
9. Reinstall the cover.

r3-] EXHAUST INFORMATION
_,WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED STATES,
THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102rnrn).
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
bg the warrantg.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition duct
and replace with UL listed transition duct.
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 resistanceto 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.
EPARATIONOF 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 901A
One turn of 451Aor lessmay be ignored.
Two 451Aturns should be treated as one 90_Aturn.
Eachturn over 45_Ashould be treated as one 90_Aturn.
EALING OF JOINTS
Alljoints 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.
Ductjoints 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.
_ISULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning
should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
