ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRIC Dryer
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 NOT
operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current. (Canada - 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.)
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.
