IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER Please Read The Following Instructions Carefully Before Starting To Install The Dryer. These Instructions Should Be Retained For Future Reference. REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES SUCH AS DRYERS TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD SUFFOCATING. LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS The dryer should be located to permit adequate room in front for loading the dryer, and sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 {formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280), 1975} for the United States,) or CSA Standards Z240 (for Canada). When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made. An anchor bracket kit is available with instructions (see Accessories).
• • • • • • • • • • Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws. DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR A CONCEALED SPACE OF A BUILDING, GAS VENT, ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER. Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation. Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation and may collect lint.
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.
If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow all grounding instructions in Grounding Section. An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only this appliance is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
• If the dryer is to be installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, only a 4 conductor power cord, rated and terminated as above, may be used. ELECTRIC MODELS – Canada Only • A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30 ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required. • All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30 ampere receptacle.
INSTALLATION Parts and literature are packaged inside of dryer drum. To Install… 1. Move dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer before the washer in side-by-side installations, to allow access to gas, electrical and exhaust connections. Lay two of the carton corner posts on the floor. Tip the dryer forward on its front so it will lay across both corner posts. 2. Set the dryer back in an upright position. 3.
