Electrical Requirements

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 Requirements

To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

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.

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.
