Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

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

■A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20- ampere fused electrical supply is required.

■A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Be sure fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating of your line.

■Use a separate circuit serving only your dryer.

■Do not use an extension cord

nFor 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 ground- ed 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 qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is proper- ly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Venting Requirements

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.

■Do not exhaust the dryer into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.

■The diameter of the heavy metal exhaust vent must be 4 in. (10.2 cm).

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

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

■Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wall- paper, carpets, etc.

Housecleaning problems and health problems.

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 air flow.

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

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

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Lint should be removed again every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.

Use duct tape to seal all joints.
