Fire Hazard
Usea heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not usea metalfoil vent.
Failureto follow there instructionscan
result in death or fire,
• DO Not use non-metal flexible vent or
exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.
• Metal exhaust vent must be four inches in
diameter•
• Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney,
furnace, cold air vent, attic or crawl space,
or any other vent used for venting.
• DO Not install flexible vent in enclosed
walls, ceilings or floors•
Important: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
A dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
Moisture and rint indoors may cause:
• Lint to gather around the dryer where it can
de fuel for a fire.
• Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture,
paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc.
• Housecleaning problems and health problems.
Dura SafeTM venting products are
recommended and are available from your
dealer.
Four-inch diameter vent is required.
Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent must be
used. Do Not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and
supported when the dryer is in its final position.
Remove excess flexible vent to avoid sagging
and kinking that may result in reduced airflow.
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust vent
to prevent rodents and
insectsfrom entering the
home.
Exhaust outlet hood must -- "_.
be at least 12 inches from --
the ground or any obiect --_
that may be in the path of --
the exhaust (such as flowers,
rocks or bushes, etc.)
If using an existing
exhaust system, clean lint from entire length
of system and make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint, Replace any plastic or metal
foil vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.
Use clamps to seal all joints. Do Not use duct
tape, screws or other fastening devices that
extend into the interior of the vent to secure
vent.
Service check: Back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.6 inches in
water column measured with an incline
manometer at the point that exhaust vent
connects to dryer.
Mobile homeinstallation
requirements
If codes permit, this appliance is suitable for
mobile home installations. The installation of
the dryer must conform to 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) or latest
edition.
The dryer must be exhausted outside.

Select the route that will provide the
straightest and most direct path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the fewest number of
elbows and turns. Avoid making 90 o turns.
When using elbows or making turns, allow as
much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to
avoid kinking.
Determine ventlength
The maximum length of the exhaust system
depends upon:
-- the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal)•
-- the number of elbows used.
if a combination of rigid and flexible metal
vent is used,
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in
exhaust vent length charts.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
Accumulate lint creating a potential fire
hazard•
-- Shorten the lifeof the dryer•
-- Reduce performance, resulting in longer
drying times and increased energy usage.

"Four-wire connection" instructions•
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS_ This appliance must be
grounded, In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least r_sistance for electric current.
If using a power supply cord, 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 quakged electrician or serviceman
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
propedy grounded, Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If using a direct wire connection, this appliance must be
connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below: a) Connect a section of 8 gauge solid copper
wire to the connector block, b) Connect the aluminum
wiring to the added section of copper wire using special
connectors designed and Underwriters Laboratories
Listed for joining copper to aluminum Follow the
electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure, C) Aluminum/copper connection must
conform with local codes and industry-accepted wiring
practices.
Use a new UL approved 30 ampere
power supply cord.
Use a UL approved strain relief.
Disconnect power before making
