INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and
connected to a properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a 15- or 20- amp circuit breaker or time-
delay fuse. If electrical supply provided does not meet the
above specications, it is recommended that a licensed
electrician install an approved outlet.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
AND PERSONAL INJURY:
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER
PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.
WARNING - THIS DRYER IS
EQUIPPED A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING)
PLUG FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST
SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED
DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED
THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT
OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM
THIS PLUG.
ENSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS BEFORE USE.
IF LOCAL CODES PERMIT,

EXHAUST INFORMATION
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
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
air ow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent
clogging.
•Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This could
cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level
or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance between last turn and exhaust
hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90º
• One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.
• Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.
• Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.
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.
• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into
the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping
the overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors ½inch
per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and
lint build-up.
WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE
UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT
DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102mm). DO NOT USE DUCT
LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST
LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specied length will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential re hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by
the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition
duct and replace with UL listed transition duct.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct,
number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all
conditions noted below. The maximum duct length for rigid
metal duct is shown in the table below.
