Venting Requirements

Recommended Earthing Method

■It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

■For an earthed, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

■For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer must be connected to a earthed metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-earthing conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on the dryer.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment- earthing 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 earthed. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

■The dryer vent must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building, or any other vent used for venting.

■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

■Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.

■10 cm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

■Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the vent. Do not use duct tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Use a heavy metal vent. 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 metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home or business.

Exhaust hood must be at least 30.5 cm (12") from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes).
