Installation Instructions 1. Turn off the circuit breaker (s) (30 amp) or remove the dryer's circuit fuse at the electrical box. 2. Be sure the dryer cord is unplugged from the wall receptacle. 3. Remove the power cord cover located at the lower back. 4. Remove and discard ground strap. Keep the green ground screw for step 7. 5. Install 3/4 in. UL recognized strain relief to power cord entry hole. Bring power cord through strain relief. 6. Connect power cord as follows: A. Connect the 2 hot lines to the outer screws of the terminal block (marked L1 and L2). B. Connect the neutral (white) line to the center of the terminal block (marked N). 7. Attach ground wire of power cord with the green ground screw (hole above strain relief bracket). Tighten all terminal block screws (3) completely. 8. Properly secure power cord to strain relief. 9. Reinstall the cover. WARNING: NEVER LEAVE THE COVER OFF OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK. CONNECTING DRYER USING 3-WIRE CONNECTION IF REQUIRED, BY LOCAL CODE, INSTALL EXTERNAL GROUND (NOT PROVIDED) TO GROUNDED METAL, COLD WATER PIPE, OR OTHER ESTABLISHED GROUND DETERMINED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Tighten all terminal block screws (3) completely. 7. Properly secure power cord to strain relief. 8. Reinstall the cover. WARNING: NEVER LEAVE THE COVER OFF OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK. 3 EXHAUST INFORMATION WARNING - USE ONLY METAL 4-IN. DUCT. 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. The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length 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. Both rigid and flexible metal duct are shown in the table below.

If using flexible metal duct, please refer to page 5. 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. • If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 4-in. dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow, prevention of back drafts, and maintenance required to prevent clogging. 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 moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape. • Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors 1/2 inch per foot INSULATION Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning 3 should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
