Electrical system requirements

Because of potentially inconsistent voltage capabilities, the use of this dryer with power created by gas powered generators,
solar powered generators, wind powered generators or any other generator other than the local utility company is not recommended.
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers. Use separately fused
circuits for washer and dryer. 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.
This dryer is internally grounded to neutral unless it was manufactured for sale in Canada. 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.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R or NEMA 14-30R receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the
dryer is in the installed position.
GROUNDING CONNECTION - See "Grounding requirements" in Electrical Installation section.
3-WIRE POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT (not supplied)
3-wire receptacle
(NEMA type 10-30R)
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. For 3-wire cord connection
instructions see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR A
3-WIRE SYSTEM.

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or fl exible
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.
- FIRE HAZARD - Failure to follow these in-
structions can create excessive drying times and fi re hazards.
The following are specifi c requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer.
- FIRE HAZARD - Do not install a clothes
dryer with fl exible plastic or metal foil venting materials.
Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily
crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes
dryer airfl ow and increase the risk of fi re.
If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil
duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also,
ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing
dryer duct.
4-WIRE POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT (not supplied)
4-wire receptacle
(NEMA type 14-30R)
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. For 4-wire cord
connection instructions see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
FOR A 4-WIRE SYSTEM.
Dryers manufactured for sale in Canada have factory-
installed, 4-wire power supply cord (NEMA 14-30R).
