Install strain relief, supplied with machine, in hole. Electrical Requirements 4. Put power cord through hole. Washer 5.
Installation Earthing Instructions Dryer The washer must be earthed. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The washer must be properly earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Installation IMPORTANT: Use only a U.L. listed No. 10 (copper wire only) two conductor power supply cord kit rated 230 Volts (minimum) 30 Amperes for electric dryers, and labeled as suitable for use in a clothes dryer. 4. Tighten these wire-binding screws firmly. IMPORTANT: Failure to tighten these screws firmly may result in wire failure at the terminal block. 5. Secure the strain relief to the power cord, or wires, where they enter the dryer cabinet.
Installation NOTE: The power cord (pigtail) is NOT supplied with the electric dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and instructions. The method of wiring the dryer is optional and subject to local code requirements. NOTE: Connect the dryer to the power supply with the MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE listed on the nameplate.
Installation Water Supply Requirements 2 1 WARNING 3 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period and before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Installation Location Requirements IMPORTANT: Unless completely assembled, DO NOT slide the unit across the floor. DO NOT slide the unit more than four feet once the leveling legs have been extended, as the legs and the base could become damaged. Select a location with a solid, sturdy and level floor. Do not install unit on carpeting, soft tile, pedestal, a platform or other weakly supported structures. The unit must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Installation Dryer Exhaust Requirements WARNING A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all duct joints with duct tape or pop-rivets. Description Kit Part No. Exhaust Duct 102 mm (4 in.) Dia.
Installation Make-Up Air Requirements Exhaust Direction It is important that the laundry room has adequate make-up air for the unit(s). A dryer exhausts 180 cfm (measured at back of the unit) and sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace the air exhaust by the unit. The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left, right or bottom of the unit. Make-Up Air Dos and Don’ts Do Unit is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust; no kits required.
Installation Exhaust System To prevent backdraft when unit is not in operation, outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (obtain locally). IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as possible. NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least 305 mm (12 inches) above the ground. Larger clearances may be necessary in areas where heavy snowfall can occur. NOTE: Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new unit.
Installation Exhaust System Maintenance Dryer Airflow The dryer interior and the complete exhaust system should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two years as required thereafter. The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against them. This maintenance work should be done by a qualified service person.
