Electrical requirements
U.S. Only
Power supply:
3or 4 wire, 240 Volt, 30 Amp,60Hz, 1 Phase Power Supply Cord Kit (not
supplied when sold in the United States) – Purchase to meet local electrical codes.
The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 Type
SPDT 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. If being installed in a manufactured (mobile) home,the dryer MUST
employ 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.

tape holding the dryer accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packaging, tape or printed materials
before using the dryer.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Exhaust System Connections
1. 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 present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
2. If the dryer is on exhausted out doors, 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. Toreduce risk of fire, dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED
OUTDOORS.
3. Do not allow combustible material (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.
4. 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.
5. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws of
rivets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen,
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.
Explosion hazard:
Do not install the dryer where gasoline of other flammable are kept or
stored.
If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be minimum of 18 inches
(45.7cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
fire of burns.
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.
Requirements and Instructions

Materials
Use only 4 inch (10.2cm) diameter (minimum) rigid of flexible metal duct and
approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper hat 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 (30.5cm) clearance between the vent hood and
the ground or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move freely.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable. Certain
extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
1. Only rigid metal duct work should be used.
2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down
drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
3. Running the exhaust system through an area not insulated may cause
condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
4. Compression of crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 12
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.

Location of Your Dryer
Do Not Install Your Dryer:
•In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
• In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, thick carpet,or any
thing that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• On carpet floor must be solid with a maximum slope of 1inch (2.54 cm).
Installation in Mobile Home
•Dryer must be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home)
using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be
4inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
preferred.
•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.
•Refer to previous pages for other important venting requirements.
• Installation must conform to current Manufactured Home Construction &
Safety Standard.

Electrical Connections
Requirements and Instructions
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 fire hazard.
WARNING
1. This appliance must be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the
dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for
proper grounding.
2. Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not
designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and
can melt, creating electric shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within
reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing
some slack in the cord. Refer to the electrical requirements in this manual for
the proper power cord to be purchased.
3. A UL approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain
relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the pulled out of the
dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical
shock.
4. Do not use an aluminum wire receptacle with copper wired power cord and
plug (or vice versa ). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and
aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle
is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
Note: Dryers operating on 208 Volt power supply sill have longer drying times
than operation on 240 Volt power supply.
Danger: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
