INTRODUCTION
The Dryer Kraken platform replaces the previous versions of mabe dryers with a new style that combines with
washers Kraken and includes special voltages for specific countries.
 Dryer Kraken offers energy saving due use less energy to generate heat and save gas.
 A new design of the lint trap filter to retain the lint that the garment gives off.
 In some electric models calculates the dry time necessary to save energy.

NSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking your dryer
• Tilt the dryer sideways and remove the foam shipping pads by pulling at the
sides and breaking them away from the dryer legs. Be sure to remove all of
the foam pieces around the legs. Remove literature and bag containing
accessories.
• Place the Dryer at designated area.
Stand the dryer upright near the final location and adjust the leveling legs at
the corners to ensure the dryer is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Then,
adjust the two anti-tip legs at the front inner corners, taking care that they are
touching the floor to avoid unit tip over. The installation is not complete until
this process is finished.
Warning: to avoid the risk of ignition and personal injury:
 This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
 Before the old dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door.
 Service information and the wiring diagram are located in the control console.
 The vent duct material MUST BE METAL.
 This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
 Install the dryer where the temperature is above 10°C for satisfactory operation of the dryer control
system.
 Remain the area beneath and around the dryer without flammable substances as lint, paper, solvents,
chemicals, gasoline or other flammable liquids.
 The exhaust vent MUST be securely fastened to a non-combustible portion of the mobile home.

For electrical connections using a power cord:
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal.
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground connector.
Connect remaining two supply wires to remaining two terminals.
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Replace the terminal block cover.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician, or service representative or personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For direct wire connections:
Use 10-gauge copper wire.
Use a strain relief.
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal.
Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground connector.
Connect remaining two supply wires to remaining two terminals.
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Replace the terminal block cover.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected dryer: 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 on the appliance.
WARNING Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician, or service representative or personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

CONNECTING DRYER.
If required, by local code, install external ground (not provided) to grounded metal, cold water pipe, or other
established ground determined by a qualified electrician.
1. Turn off the circuit breaker(s) (30 amp) or remove the dryer’s circuit fuse at the electrical box.
2. Be sure the dryer cord is unplugged from the wall receptacle.
3. Remove the power cord cover located at the lower back.
4. Install 3/4-in. UL-recognized strain relief to power cord entry hole. Bring power cord through strain relief.
5. Connect power cord as follows:
A. Connect the 2 hot lines to the outer screws of the terminal block (marked L1 and L2).
B. Connect the neutral (white) line to the center of the terminal block (marked N).
6. Be sure ground strap is connected to neutral (center) terminal of block and to green ground screw on
cabinet rear. Tighten all terminal block screws (3) securely.
7. Properly secure power cord to strain relief.
8. Reinstall the cover.
NEVER LEAVE THE COVER OFF OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK.

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of
the exhaust system depends upon the
type of duct, number of turns, the type of
exhaust hood (wall cap) and all conditions
noted on the chart.
Internal elbows added for side or
bottom vent conversions must be included
in the total elbow count.
Any elbow greater than 45°
should be treated as a 90° elbow.
Two 45° elbows will be treated
like one 90° elbow.
For every additional 90° elbow,
reduce the allowable vent system length
by 3 m.
When calculating the total vent
system length, you must add all the
straight portions and elbows of the system
(including the transition duct).
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST
Hood or wall cap
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust airflow and should require little or no
maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 30.5 cm above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening
pointed down.
Separation of turns
• For best performance, separate all turns by at least 1.2 m. of straight duct, including distance between
last turn and dampened wall cap.
Sealing of joints
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the
dryer.
• Duct joints should be made air- and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or
aluminum tape.
• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate
lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Horizontal runs should slope down towards the outdoors 1/4” per foot.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.
Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
Insulation
• Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce
condensation and lint buildup.

STANDARD REAR EXHAUST
We recommend that you install your dryer before installing your washer. This will permit direct access for
easier exhaust connection.
Slide the end of the exhaust duct on the back of the dryer and secure with duct tape or a duct clamp.
NOTE: We strongly recommend using rigid metal exhaust duct. However, if flexible ducting is used it must
be UL-Listed metal, not plastic.
• For straight-line installation, connect the dryer exhaust to the wall, using duct tape or a duct clamp.

THE DRYER OPERATION
On front view the drum rotates clockwise at 48 to 54 rpm. The air is impulse through the electrical heating
resistance and send it to the clothes absorbing the humidity and lint.
The lint is filtered to outside when the air goes through the drum to the filter grill and blower duct to exhaust in the
vent duct.
The thermostat controls the air temperature according with the load size program selector. The time cycle length
is controlled by the minutes selected on the timer or an automatic control by the timer and the thermostat for the
type of clothes selected (Automatic Drying Cycles).
