EleCtric Dryer

Before you start...
Check locatton where dryer will be
installed. Proper installation is your
responsibility. The dryer must not be
installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather,
Make sure you have everything
necessary for
correct installation.
Grounded electrlcal supply Is required.
See Electrlcal fequlrements, Panel A.
Four-inch metal exhaust duct is
required.
Check code requlremenk: Some codes
limit or do not permit installation of
clothes dryers in garages, closets,
mobile homes, or sleeping quarters.
Contact your local building inspector.
Protectlon tram the weather: Proper
operation of dryer cycles requires
temperatures above 45°F. or the dryer
may not shut off when automatic
cycles are used.
Dryer door clearances
Locatlon must be large enough to ~
fully open dryer door. See Panel E
tor recessed and closet
requlrements.
Important:
Observe all
governing I
codes and
ordinances.
Open dryer and
remove llterature

proper outlet Installed by a qualltled
electrlclan.
l Do Not have a fuse In the neutral or
groundlng clrcult. A fuse In the neutral

Use a new 30-amp power supply cord.
Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-
listed, 120/24Uvolt mlnimum, 30-ampere,
dryer power supply cord kit (pigtail). Power
supply cord should be Type SRD or SRDT and
be at least four feet long. The wires that
connect to the dryer must end with ring
terminals or spade terminals with upturned
ends. A 3/4”, U-L.-listed strain relief must be
installed where the power supply cord
connects to the dryer (see Figures 1 and 2).

The dryer can be connected directly to
fused disconnect or circuit breaker box with
three-wire or four-wire flexible armored or
non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with
grounding wire). Do Not use two-wire with
bare grounding wire. All current-carrying
wires must be insulated.
A conduit connector must be installed at
junction box. USE ONLY lo-GAUGE SOLID
COPPER WIRE. DO NOT USEALUMINUM
WIRE. Allow four feet of slack in the line so
dryer can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary.

Exhaust
requirements
Fire/Health Hazard
l Do Not use non-metal, tlexlble duct.
l Do Not use metal duct smaller than
tour Inches In diameter.
l Do Not use exhaust hoods wlth
magnettc latches.
. Check that exhaust system Is not
longer than specltled. Exhaust systems
longer than specltled will:
- Accumulate Ilnt.
- Shorten the llte of the dryer.
- Reduce pertormance, resulting In
longer drylng times and Increased
energy usage.
Failure to tallow speclflcatlons may
result In a flre.
l Do Not exhaust dryer Into a chimney,
tumace cold alr duct, attlc or crawl
space, or any other duct used for
ventlng.
l Clean the exhaust system every other
year.
l Do Not Install flexible duct In enclosed
walls, celllngs or floors.
Accumulated llnt could be fuel for a flre
or cause molsture damage.
Exhaustlng your dryer Indoors Is Not
recommended. The molsture and llnt
Indoors may cause:
- Lint to gather lnslde and around the
dryer and be a fuel ror tlre.
- Moisture damage to woodwork,
turnlture, palnt, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
- Housecleanlng problems and
possible health problems.
Failure to follow these lnstructlons could
result In flre damage, property damage,
personal Injury or health problems.
It uslng an exlstlng exhaust system, clean llnt
tram entire length ot exhaust system. Make
sure exhaust hood Is not plugged wlth Ilnt.
Replace plastic exhaust duct wlth rlald metal
or iiexlbki metal duct.
LJseduct tape to seal
all joints.
Four-Inch rlgld metal pipe is preferred. Plan
installation to use the fewest number of
elbows and turns.
better l-l PI
Metal tlexlble duct must be fully extended
and supported when the dryer is in its final
position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT.
The metal flexible duct must be completely
open to allow adequate exhaust alr to flow.
Allow as much room as possible when using
elbows or making turns. Send duct gradually
to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible
duct to avoid -
sagging and kinking
that may result in
reduced air flow.
Exhaust outlet is
located at the center
of the bottom dryer
back.
The exhaust duct can
be routed up, down,
left, right or straight
out the back of the
dryer. General space
requirements are
provided on Panel E.
Use the straightest
path you can, where
possible, to avoid 90”
turns.
Maxlmum length of the exhaust system
depends upon the type of duct used,
number of elbows and the type of exhaust
hood. The maxlmum length for both rlgid
and flexible duct is shown in chart.

For exhaust systems not covered by the
exhaust length chart, check with your dealer
or distributor for information.
Service check: The back pressure in any
exhaust system used must not exceed 0.6
inches of water column measured with an
inclined manometer at the point that the
exhaust duct connects to the dryer.
Exhaustlng the dryer outslde is
recommended. A closet installation must be
exhausted Recessed installation
that is not exhausted outside must use
Exhaust Deflector Part No. 603197 available
from your dealer. See ‘Recessed and closet
installation instructions”, Panel E, for
adequate unobstructed air opening
requirements.
It the dryer Is Installed In a contlned area
such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet, it
must be exhausted to the outside and
provision must be made for enough air for
combustion and ventilation, Check
governing codes and ordinances, Also refer
to the ‘Recessed and closet installation
instructions, * Panel E.
An exhaust hood should cap
the exhaust duct to prevent
exhausted air from returning
into dryer. The outlet of the
hood must be at least 12
inches from the ground or
any object that may be in the
path of the exhaust.
Four-Inch outlet exhaust
%I

minimum
hood is preferred. However,
a 2-l/2-inch outlet exhaust hood may be
used. A 2-l/2-inch outlet exhaust hood can
result in longer drying times than other hood
types.
For permanent Installation, a statlonary
exhaust system Is required.
Mobile home installation
This appliance is suitable for mobile home
installations. The installation of the dryer must
conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24
CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Homes Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280, 1975) or
the latest edition.
Moblle home exhaust requlrements: The
dryer must have an outside exhaust. If the
dryer is exhausted through the floor and the
area under the mobile home is enclosed,
the exhaust system must terminate outside
the enclosed area. Extension beyond the
enclosure will prevent lint and moisture
buildup under the mobile home.
