Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

re, or electrical shock.

WARNING

120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is also recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this dryer be provided.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock

by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This dryer is equipped with 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 qualied electrician or service representative

or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with

the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualied electrician.

VENTING

Venting Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space

of a building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used for

exhausting.

■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps

may be used.

■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid

crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)

■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.

■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result

in reduced airow and poor performance.

■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.

■ The total length should not exceed 7

ft. (2.4 m).

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire

length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not

plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid

metal or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and,

if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying

performance.
