WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
• Ensure the entire dryer exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris prior to the
installation of your new laundry center. The entire exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. Failure to comply with cleaning
your exhaust system will increase the RISK of FIRE.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with exible plastic or exible foil venting material. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct clothes dryer airow and increase the risk of re.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. NO screen or grate of
any mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor exhaust opening.
• Install the laundry center according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Laundry Center installation and service must be performed by a qualied installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
• The electrical service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 part 1.
• The laundry center is designed under UL 2158 - CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 112 (latest editions) for
HOME USE only. This laundry center is not recommended for commercial applications such as
restaurants, beauty salons, etc.
• Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use
them to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers causing suocation. Place all materials in a garbage container or make materials
inaccessible to children.

Connecting to the drain
1. Form a “U” shape on the end of the drain
hose with the hose pointed toward the drain.
2. Place the formed end in a laundry tub or a
standpipe and secure the drain hose with
the cable tie (provided in the enclosure
package) to the standpipe, inlet hose,
laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not pull
out from the force of the water.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
A U.L. approved strain relief must be
installed onto power cord. If the strain relief
is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of
the dryer and can be cut by any movement
of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT use an aluminum wired receptacle
with a copper wired power cord and plug
(or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs
between copper and aluminum and can
cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and
receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a
copper wired receptacle.

Electrical requirements
Since your laundry center is equipped with
a power supply cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appro-
priate, copper wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or in Canada,
the Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1. If in
doubt, call a licensed electrician.
DO NOT cut o or alter the grounding prong on
the power supply cord. In situations where a
two-slot receptacle is present, it is the owner’s
responsibility to have a licensed electrician
replace it with a properly grounded three prong
grounding type receptacle.
Electric dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit
fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit
breakers.
POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 240 volt,
single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current. The
power cord is NOT supplied with unit.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R or
NEMA 14-30R receptacle to be located so
the power supply cord is accessible when the
dryer is in the installed position.
GROUNDING CONNECTION - See “Grounding
requirements” in Use & Care instructions. The
laundry center MUST be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a
path of least resistance for electrical current.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can cause an electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
IMPORTANT
Please review “Troubleshooting” in your Use & Care instruction before calling for service.
