to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformity with CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91, latest edition.
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 or lead on
the dryer.
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 dryer is
properly grounded.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
[] The dryer vent must not be exhausted into any gas vent,
chimney, wail, ceiling, attic, crawtspace, or a concealed space
of a building.
[] Use only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for
exhausting.
[] Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
[] Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,
or floors.
[] 4" (102 mm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used. Do
not use plastic or metal foil vent.
[] Use clamps to seat all joints. The duct shall not be assembled
with screws or other fastening means that extend into the
duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
[] The total length of flexible metal vent shall not exceed 8 ft
(2.4 m).
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use aplastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow
and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home or business.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground
or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks, or bushes).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal vent.

Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
A
ExhaustAir Flow
A.Good
B.Better
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making
turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,
or straight out the back of the dryer.
Vent System Length
Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent
used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood. The
maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.
Maximum Vent Length
4" (10.2 cm) Diameter Exhaust Hoods
Rigid Metal Vent
No. of 90 ° turns Box Hood and Louvered Style Angled Hood Style
0 130 ft. (39.6 m) 129 ft. (39.3 m)

2 115 ft. (35.1 m) 109 ft. (33.2 m)
3 106 ft. (32.3 m) 100 ft. (30.5 m)
4 98 ft. (29.9 m) 92 ft. (28.0 m)
For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart,
see your parts distributor.
If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom
or bathroom, provision must be made for enough air
for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and
ordinances.) See "Recessed Area Installation Instructions" in the
"Location Requirements" section.
A 4" (10.2 cm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21Z_"(6.4 cm)
outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21Z_'' (6.4 cm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary vent system is required.
[] A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per
dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be
used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.
[] Back-draft Damper Kits, Part No. 3391910, are available from
your dealer and should be installed in the vent of each dryer
to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to
keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent.
Unobstructed air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the
direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side
should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering
with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should
be no more than 30°.

A.Individualdryervent
B.Mainvent
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can
damage dryers and loads being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic
cleaning of the vent system.

The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward. If the main vent travels vertically through the
roof, rather than through the watt, install a 180° sweep elbow on
the end of the vent at least 2 feet (61 cm) above the highest part
of the building. The opening in the wall or roof shall have a
diameter 1/2" (1.3 cm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent
should be centered in the opening.
Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.
