ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRIC Dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay
fuses or circuit breaker.
Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO NOT operate
a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 wire 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 vehicles;
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 circuit neutral in usual manner (if the
appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use 4-conductor cord
for this purpose). USE COPPER CONDUCTOR ONLY. The dryer MUST
employ 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 when the dryer is in the installed position.
(Canada - NEMA 14-30R receptacle.)
NEMA 10-30R
CIRCUIT - Individual 15 amp. branch circuit fused with a 15 amp. maximum
time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 wire, 120 volt single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD - The dryer is equipped with a 120 volt 3-wire
power cord.

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 specific requirements for proper
and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions
can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer.
Excessive lint can 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.
- 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. Plugging 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
gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed
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.
