The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.48 inches of water column, or be less than 0.
This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean.
NONEXHAUSTED INSTALLATIONS
•If the electric dryer is not exhausted to the outside, the exhaust must not terminate directly behind the dryer.
•Use a rectangular vent kit along with a Dacron mesh lint bag (see Accessories). Maintain a 6” (15.2 cm) clearance between the back of the control panel and the wall. Although the lint screen and lint bag will retain most of the lint, a certain amount will be expelled into the laundry area.
•WARNING: IF THE DRYER IS NOT EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTSIDE, SOME FINE LINT WILL BE EXPELLED INTO THE LAUNDRY AREA. AN ACCUMULATION OF DUST OR LINT IN ANY AREA OF THE HOME CREATES A FIRE HAZARD. ANY LINT ACCUMULATIONS MUST BE CLEANED FREQUENTLY.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Wiring diagram is located inside the lower kick panel.
Export models (not U.S. or Canada): See Additional Instructions for Export Models on last page of installation instructions.
!WARNING
WARNING – To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA (for the United States) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 (for Canada).
GROUNDING
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES OR HOT WATER PIPES.
ELECTRIC MODELS
U.S. electric models are shipped with a ground strap connected from the neutral terminal block post to the frame of the dryer. If local codes prohibit the use of the ground strap, the dryer must be grounded in accordance with local codes.
