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.
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 building can create a health and fire hazard.
The dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the
outside of the building!
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.
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Tools and Materials Required for Installation:
1. Phillips head screwdriver.
2. Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
3. Carpenter's level.
4. Flat or straight blade screwdriver.
5. Duct tape.
6. Rigid or flexible metal 4 inch (10.2 cm) duct.
7. Vent hood.
8. Pipe thread sealer (Gas).
9. Plastic knife.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRIC Dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp.
minimum time delay fuses or circuit breakers.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 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, OR 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.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R or 14-30R receptacle
to be located so the power supply cord is accessible when
the dryer is in the installed position.
Typical 3-wire installation
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
