ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRIC Dryer
CIRCUIT
- Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. minimum
time delay fuses or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY
- 3 wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT
- The dryer
MUST
employ a 3-conductor power
supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp.,
with 3 open end spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop
connectors
OR
a 4-conductor power supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or
ST (as required) rated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 4 open end
spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers. If being installed in a new branch circuit
installation, manufactured (mobile) home, recreational vehicle or area which
prohibits grounding through the neutral conductor, the dryer
MUST
employ
a 4-conductor power supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required)
rated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 4 open end spade lug connectors
with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use with
clothes dryers. See ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS for additional instructions.
CANADA
- A 4 wire power cord is installed on dryer.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE
- NEMA 10-30R (3-wire) receptacle or NEMA 14-
30R (4-wire) receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is accessible
when the dryer is in the installed position.
NOTE: Do not under any
circumstances remove
grounding prong from
plug
.

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal
duct and
approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the
dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close
to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting
the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between
the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
The following are specific requirements for proper
and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions
can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer.
Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and
restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase dryer times. If your present
system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct,
replace it
with a rigid or
flexible metal duct.
Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to
installing dryer duct.
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.
The dryer exhaust
system MUST be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling!
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.
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.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system,
nor use any screws or rivets 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 duct tape.
All male duct pipe fittings
MUST
be installed downstream with the flow of
air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer where
gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.
If the dryer is installed
in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.
