EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
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.
ik WARNING
Do
not install a clothes dryer with flexible
plastic venting materials.
If your present system is made up
of plastic duct or metal foil duct,
replace it
with a rigid or flexible
metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil type)
duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the
appliance
manufacturer
as
suitable
for
use
with
clothes
dryers
and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for
Clothes
Dryer
Transition
Duct,
UL
standard
2158A.
Elexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and
increase the
risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
CIRCUIT -
Individual 15 amp. branch circuit fused with a 15 amp.
maximum time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 3
wire,
120
volt
single
phase,
60
Hz,
Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD -
The dryer is equipped with a 120 volt
3-wire power cord.
exhausted outdoors
Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space
of a building. 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.
A WARNING
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.
