Important Safety Information
About Ground Wires
In the event of an electrical short circuit, a
ground wire reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
Standard accepted color coding tbr ground
wires is green or green with ayellow
stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like
grounding wires are NOT to be used as
current carrying conductors.
] WARNING I
To reduce the risk of fire, the dryer
MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.
DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a
window well, gas vent, chimney or
enclosed, unventilated area, such as
an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space
under a building or concealed space
of a building.
] WARNING I
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT
use plastic pipe, foil pipe, or flexible
plastic pipe to exhaust the dryer.
Never install flexible duct in
concealed spaces, such as a wall or
ceiling.
] WARNING]
To avoid risk of personal injury or
death:
• Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
Grounding Instructions
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system,
or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors
and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
• Power cord (pigtail) is not supplied with electric dryer. Type of pigtail and
gauge of wire must conform to local codes and instructions.
Method of wiring dryer is optional and subject to local code requirements.
• Connect dryer to power supply with MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE listed on
the nameplate.
• Use copper wire only. Shorter than 15' (4.5 m) use 10 A.W.G. Longer than
15" (4.5 m) use 8 A.W.G.
WARNING ]
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock:
• Observe all local codes and
ordinances.
• Disconnect electrical power to
unit before servicing.
• Ground appliance properly.
• Check with a qualified
electrician if you are not sure
this appliance is properly
grounded.
• DO NOT ground to gas line.
• DO NOT ground to cold water
pipe.
• DO NOT modify plug on
power cord. If plug does not fit
electrical outlet, have proper
outlet installed by qualified
electrician.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the
neutral or ground circuit. A fuse
in the neutral or ground circuit
could result in an electrical
shock.
• DO NOT use an extension cord
with this appliance.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug
with this appliance.
• DO NOT pinch power cord.
I WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring
and grounding must conform with the latest edition of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and
such local regulations as might apply. It is the customer's responsibility to

Description
Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for installation.
Place dryer on a solid floor in an area with an adequate air supply. A Closet door
must have two supply air vents with a minimum of 40sq. in. (260 sq. cm) each
(see diagram).
Dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water
and/or weather.
Leveling legs can be adjusted from inside the dryer with a 1/4"driver. All four legs
must rest firmly on the floor so the weight of the dryer is evenly distributed. The
dryer must not rock.
Dryer needs a 3 or 4 wire 120/240 Volt, 30 amp, 60 Hertz, 1 Phase electrical
supply. Refer to serial plate for specific requirements. Wiring diagram is located
in control hood.
Use rigid or semi-rigid duct and exhaust the dryer to the outside by the shortest
route possible. Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
• Dryer exhaust duct must be secured to the mobile home structure. Dryer
exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under the mobile home.
• Exhaust duct must not be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.
• Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally). Do not use
plastic or thin foil flexible ducting.
• Static pressure in the dryer's exhaust duct should be no greater than .6 inches
(1.5 cm). Check with dryer running and no load. This can be measured with a
manometer placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from
the dryer.
For the best exhaust system
Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
Verify old ducts are cleaned before installing new dryer.
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
Use as few elbows as possible.
Use duct tape on all joints.
