ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS
I
ELECTRIC Dryer
]
CIRCUIT- Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay
fuses or circuit breakers.
Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO NOT
operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 wh-e or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz,
Alternating
Current.
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.
WARNING
- Risk of Shock.
Appliance
grounded
to neutral conductor
through a link. Grounding through the neutral link is prohibited for (1) New
branch circuit installations
(2) mobile homes; (3) recreational
vetqides; and
(4) areas where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral,
(1) disconnect the link from the neutral, (2) use grounding
terminal or lead
to ground appliance in accordance with local codes and (3) connect neutral
terminal or lead to branch ch-cuit neutral in usual manner (if ttqe appliance
is to be connected
by means of a cord kit, use 4-conductor
cord for this
purpose).
USE COPPER CONDUCTOR ONLY. The dryer MUSTemploy
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.
(Canada - 4-wire power supply cord is installed on dryer.)
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R receptacle to be located
so the
power supply cord is accessible wtqen the dryer is in ttqe installed position.
(Canada - NEMA 14-30R receptacle.)

maximum time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 wire, 120 volt single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current.

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 spedfic
requirements
for proper
and safe operation
of your
dryer. Failure to foflow
these
instructions
can create excessive drying
times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible
duct to exhaust
the dryer.
Excessive lint carl 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.
_f_-
Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint.
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 home can create a
health and fire hazard. The dryer
must
be connected
to an exhaust
outdoors.
Regularly inspect the outdoor
exhaust opening
and remove
any accumulation
of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding
area.
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. Phgging 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
gasofine
or other flammables
are kept or stored.
If the dryer is
instalbd 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.
