EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Useonly 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. Toavoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and tile ground or anyother 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 dr,e/_£_.
Excessivelint 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 ismade up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, _)lace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct.
Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to instal/ing
dryer duct.
If the dryer isnot exhausted outdoors somefine lint will be
expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any
area of the home (:an create a health and fire hazard. The
dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outside
of the dwel/ing r.
Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing_
draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust
s_stem. Tile dryer MUSTNOT 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.
Do not exceed tile length of duct F£)eor number of elbows
allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts. Lint can
accumulate in the exhaust system, plugging the system and
creating a fire hazard, as well as increasing 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. Usean approved vent hood to terminate the duct
outdoors, and sealall joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe
fittings MUST be installed downstream with tile flow of air.
Exp/osion hazard. Do not install the dryer
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If the
dryer isinstalled 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.

1. The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.6
inches(I. 52 cm) of water column, measured with an inclined
manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. The exhaust system should be inspected and (:leaned a
minimum of every two years with normal usage. The more
the dryer is used, the more often you should check the
exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryersshipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or
left sideof the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gasdryers,
exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom
of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by
installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your
parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

ELECTRICAL 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 afire hazard.
Thisappliance MUSTbe properl_Lgrounded. Electricalshock
can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the
instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
_1_ Donot usean extension cord with this dr,e__r.Someextension
cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical
current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock
and/or fire hazard. Locatetile dryerwith in reachof the receptacle
for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack
in the cord. Refer to the preqnstallation requirements in this
manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
A U.L approved strain relief must be installed onto power
cord. If the strain relief isnot attached, the cord can be pulled
out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord,
resulting in electrical shock.
Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a cop_.r
wired power cord and plug (or vice versa}.A chemical reaction
occurs between (opper and aluminum and (:ancause electrical
shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is acopper wired
po wer cord with acopper wired receptacle.
NOTE: Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have
longer drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply.
Fora 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.

INSTALLATION
1. GAS CONNECTION (Gas dryers on(y)
a. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of
the dryer.
NOTE: DO NOTconnect the dryer to L.P.gasservice without
converting the gas valve. An L.P.conversion kit (P/N
131639300) must be installed by a qualified gas
technician.
b. Connect a 1/2 inch (I .27 cm)!.D, semi-rigid or approved
pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8
inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for a connection.
Apply an approved thread sealer that isresistant to the
corrosiveaction of liquefied gaseson all pipe connections.
c. Open tile shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
d. Testall connections bybrushing on a soapywater solution.
NEVER TESTFOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPENFLAME.
2. Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system. Use
duct tape to seal all joints.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If replacement parts are needed for your dryer, contact the
source where you purchased your dryer.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the
dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets (:an become
airtight chambers causing suffocation. Placeall materials in a
garbage container or make materials inaccessible to children.
The instructions in this manual and all other
literature included with this dryer are not meant to cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur. Good safe
practice and caution MUSTbe applied when installing, operating
and maintaining any appliance.
3. With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or more of the
legs until the dryer is resting solid on all four legs. Placea
level on top of the dryer. THE DRYER MUST BE LEVEL
AND RESTING SOLID ONALL FOUR LEGS. Turn the lock
nuts on each of tile four legs up toward the base of tile
dryer and snug with a 1/2 inch open end wrench.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE:Check
to ensure the power isoff at circuit breaker/fuse box before
plugging the power cord into tile outlet.
5. Turn on tile power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
Before operating the dt_yer,make sure the ddyer
area Lsclear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors. A/so see that nothing (such as
boxes, clothing, etc.) obstructs the flow of combustion and
ventilation ai_
6. Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation.
NOTE; On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is
necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner
does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is
turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this
happens, turn the timer to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before
making another attempt to light.
7. If your dryer does not operate, please review the "Avoid
Service Checklist" located in your Owner's Guide before
calling for service.
8. Placethese instructions in a location near the dryer for future
reference.
NOTE: A wiring diagram islocated inside the dryer console or
under the top panel. 8
