5ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION
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.
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 specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
WARNING - THIS DRYER IS EQUIPPED A
ENSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS BEFORE USE.
IF LOCAL CODES PERMIT, 
AN EXTERNAL GROUND WIRE (NOT PROVIDED), WHICH MEETS LOCAL CODES, MAY BE ADDED BY ATTACHING TO THE GREEN GROUND SCREW ON THE REAR
OF THE DRYER, AND TO A GROUNDED METAL COLD WATER PIPE OR OTHER ESTABLISHED GROUND.
6EXHAUST INFORMATION
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 specified length will:
•Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
•Reduce the dryer life.
•Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire 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.

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 flow 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
•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
