Exhaust system requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) 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. Correct !1
incorrect
The following are specific requirements
for proper and safe operation of your
dryer.
If your present system _smade up of plastic duct
or metal foil duct, replace itwith a rigid or semi-
rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is
free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

Installation Requirements
Exhaust system requirements, continued
The dryer must be connected to an exhaust

CORRECT INCORRECT
In installations where the exhaust system is not
described in the charts, the following method must
be used to determine if the exhaust system is
acceptable:
.
.
3.
4.
Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the dryer and the point the exhaust
connects to the dryer.
Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff
(cool down) and start the dryer.
Read the measurement on the manometer.
The system back pressure MUST NOT be
higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the
system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of
water column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of
water column, the system is too restrictive and
the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system
is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances
could affect the performance of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
Venting vertically through a roof may expose
the exhaust system to down drafts causing an
increase in vent restriction.
Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation and
faster accumulation of lint.
Compression or crimping of the exhaust system
will cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with
normal usage. The more the dryer is used,
the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction & Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard
CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not
beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting
that will not support combustion. Metal ducting
must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no
obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and
area beneath the mobile home is enclosed,
the exhaust system MUST terminate outside
the enclosure with the termination securely
fastened to the mobile home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other
important exhaust venting system requirements.
5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home,
a provision must be made for outside make up
air. This provision is to be not less than twice
the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer
mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved
Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.

Installation Instructions
Electrica installation
The following are specific requirements for proper
and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure
to follow these instructions can create electrical
shock and/or a fire hazard.
Grounding requirements -Emectdc dryer (USA}
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of
a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of
least resistance for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4
wire power supply cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug
that matches your wiring system, the plug
MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper
wired receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you've installed on
this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The 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 appliance.
