■

Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for purchase 
from your dealer.

■

Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce 
outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby 
window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust 
opening.

Electrical Requirements

■

A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical 
supply is required.

■

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Be sure 
fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating of your line.

■

Use a separate circuit serving only your dryer.

■

Do not use an extension cord.

■  

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 qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician.

Venting Requirements

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE 

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, 
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space 

 

of a building.

■

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 or flexible heavy 
metal vent.

■

Review Vent system chart. Modify existing vent system if 
necessary to achieve the best drying performance. Only rigid 

 

or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.

■

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

■

4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be 
used. 

■

For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are 
recommended.

■

Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.

■

Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for 
cleaning.

■

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when 
the dryer is in its final location. 

■

Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking 
that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
