WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• 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.
• Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or
use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend
into the duct 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. Use an approved
vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal
all joints with metal foil duct tape. All male duct pipe
fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow
of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be 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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Do not install flexible plastic or flexible foil venting
material.
• If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft.
(2.4 m) duct length.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
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.
Installation Requirements

See also Clearance Requirements on the next page.
Exhaust direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing
a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to the exhaust
outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through
your local parts distributor or hardware store.
Exhaust system requirements, continued
In installations where the exhaust system has not described
in the previous pages, the following method must be used
to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1 Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the
dryer.
2 Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff(cool
down) and start the dryer.
3 Read the measurement on the manometer.
4 The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back
pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is
higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the system
is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, the performance of this dryer could be
adversely affected by the following conditions:
• The use of non-rigid metal duct work.
• 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.
• Accelerated accumulation of lint buildup in dryer
exhaust system, 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.
Install male fittings in correct direction:

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 - Electric dryer (USA)
Electrical installation
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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• 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.
• 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 electrical 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 pre-installation requirements in this manual for
the proper power cord to be purchased.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto
power cord. If the strain relief is not 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
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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
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.
