A. WARNING - To REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND
PERSONAL INJURY:
© DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and
connected to a properly grounded branch circuit, pro-
tected by a 15- or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay
fuse. If electrical supply provided does not meet the
above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed
electrician install an approved outlet.
AAWARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE
UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST
DUCT DIAMETER IS 4 in (102mm). DO NOT
USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE
EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
e 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 by the warranty.
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 duct
length for rigid metal duct is shown in the table below.
A. WARNING - THIS DRYER IS
EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG
(GROUNDING) PLUG FOR YOUR
PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD
AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY
INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-
PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG
FROM THIS PLUG.
IF LOCAL CODES PERMIT,
AN EXTERNAL GROUND WIRE
(NOT PROVIDED), WHICH MEETS
LOCAL CODES, MAY BE ADDED
BY ATTACHING TO THE GREEN
GROUND SCREW ON THE REAR
OF THE DRYER, AND TO A GROUNDED
METAL COLD WATER PIPE OR OTHER
ESTABLISHED GROUND.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
e Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of
birds or other wildlife.
* Termination should present minimal resistance to
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.
SEPARATION OF 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 90°
* One turn of 45° or less ray be ignored.
* Two 45° turns should be treated as one 90° turn.
* Each turn over 45° should be treated as one 90° turn.
