ELECTRICDryer
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
NOToperate
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 SRDTrated 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). USECOPPER 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.

SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metalduct
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. Excessivelint 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.
