circuit could result in electrical
shock.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in electrical shock or
other personal injury.
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20
Ampere
fused electrical
supply is
required.
Time-delay
fuse or circuit

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING
METHOD
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD
GROUNDING
PRONG.
For your personal
safety, this
appliance
must be grounded.
This
appliance
is equipped
with a power
supply cord having
a 3-prong
grounding
plug.
To minimize
possible
shock hazard, the
cord must be
plugged
into a
mating
3-prong
grounding-type
wall receptacle,
grounded
in
accordance
with
the National
'

edition,
and all local codes
and ordinances.
If a mating
wall
receptacle
is not available,
it is the
personal
responsibility
and obligation
of the customer
to have a properly
grounded
3-prong
wall receptacle
installed
by a qualified
electrician.
For added
personal safety, using
the
clamp and green-colored
copper wire
furnished, connect this separate
grounding
wire (#I8 minimum] from the
external grounding
connector
on the
back of the appliance
to a grounded
cold water pipe?
TEMPORARY GROUNDING METHOD
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUNDING
PRONG.
THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
If changing
and properly grounding
the wall receptacle
is impossible and
where local codes permit (consult your
electrical
inspector), a temporary
adapter
may be plugged
into the
existing 2-prong wall receptacle
to
mate with the 3-prong power supply
cord.
PANEL B
If this is done, you
must
connect
a
separate
copper grounding
wire (No.
18 minimum] to a grounded
cold water
pipe' by means of a clamp and then
to the external ground connector
screw.
Do not ground to a gas supply pipe
or hot water pipe.
Do not connect
to
electrical
supply until appliance
is
permanently
grounded.

Fire/Health Hazard
l
Do Not use non-metal,
flexible duct.
0 Do Not use metal duct smaller
than four inches in diameter.
m Do Not use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
B Check that exhaust system is not
longer than specified. Exhaust
systems longer than specifted
will:
-Accumulate
lint.
Shorten the life of the dryer.
-Reduce performance,
resulting
in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
Lailure to follow specifications
nay result in a fire.
D Do Not exhaust dryer into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct,
attic or crawl space, or any
other duct used for venting.
l
Clean the exhaust system every
other year.
l
Do Not install flexible duct in
enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.
4ccumulated
lint could result in a
'ire or cause moisture damage.
l
Exhaust the dryer outside to
prevent exposure to substances
in the gas fuels and combustion
which may be harmful to your
health.
The moisture and lint indoors
may cause:
- FIRE HAZARD from lint
collected
in dryer;
- Moisture damage to
woodwork, furniture, paint,
wallpaper, carpet, etc.
- House cleaning problems and
possible health problems.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire damage or
personal injury.
Metal flexible duct
may be used.
It
should be fully extended
and
supported
when the dryer is in its final
position.
DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE
DUCT. The metal flexible
duct must
be completely
open to allow
adequate
exhaust
air to flow.
Use Duct Tape
to seal all joints.
If the dryer is installed in a confined
area
such as a bedroom,
bathroom
or
closet, it must be exhausted
to the
outside and provision
made for
enough
air for combustion
and
ventilation.
(Check
governing
codes
and ordinances.)
Also refer to the
section
of this instruction
covering
Recessed and Closet Instructions.
The
Exhaust
Outlet
is locate
at the bottom center
K
of the dryer back.
The
Exhaust Duct
can be routed up,
down,
left, right or
straight out the
back of the dryer.
P
An Exhaust Hood
should cap the
exhaust duct to prevent exhausted
air
returning into dryer The outlet of the
hood must be at least 12 inches from the
ground or anything else that may be
in the path of the exhaust.
A 2% inch outlet Exhaust Hood
should
be used with short systems only. (This
outlet creates greater back pressure
than other hood types.]
Exhaust Hoods
with magnetic
latches
should
not
be used.
The
Maximum Length
of the exhaust
system depends
upon the type of duct
used, number of elbows and type of
exhaust hood. The maximum
length for
both rigid and flexible duct is shown

The Maxlmum
length
using
a 2" x 6" rectangular
duct
with

and
a 2W'Exhaust
hood
Is B fl.
For
Exhaust Systems
not covered by the
exhaust length chart, check with your
Roper dealer or service center for a dryer
manual Part No. 603197. The back
pressure in any exhaust system used must
not exceed
0.6 inches of water column
measured
with an inclined manometer
at
the point that the exhaust duct connects
to the dryer.
For
Mobile Home
installation,
the dryer
must
have an outside exhaust. If you
exhaust the dryer through the
floor and the area under your
mobile home is enclosed, the
exhaust system
must
terminate
outside the enclosed
area.
Extension beyond the
enclosure will prevent lint
and moisture build-up
under
mobile home.
