Electrical Shock Hazard
l Electrical ground is required on
this appliance.
l Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock.
l Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do Not
modify the power supply
cord plug. lf it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified
electrician.
l Do Not use an extension cord
wit this appliance. Such use
may result in a fire, electrical
shock or other personal injury.
. Do Not have a fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit. A
fuse in the neutral or grounding
circuit could result in electrical
shock.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in electrical shock or
other personal injury.
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20
Ampere fused electrical supply is
required. Time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING
METHOD
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD
GROUNDING PRONG.
For your personal safety, this
appliance must be grounded. This
appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong
grounding plug.
To minimize possible
shock hazard, the
cord must be
plugged into a
mating 3-prong
grounding-type
wall receptacle,
grounded in
accordance with
the National

edition, and all local codes
and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to have a properly
grounded 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
For added personal safety, using the
clamp and green-colored copper wire
furnished, connect this separate
grounding wire (#I8 minimum] from the
external grounding connector on the
back of the appliance to a grounded
cold water pipe?
TEMPORARY GROUNDING METHOD
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUNDING
PRONG.
THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
If changing and properly grounding
the wall receptacle is impossible and
where local codes permit (consult your
electrical inspector), a temporary
adapter may be plugged into the
existing 2-prong wall receptacle to
mate with the 3-prong power supply
cord.
PANEL B
If this is done, you must connect a
separate copper grounding wire (No.
18 minimum] to a grounded cold water
pipe’ by means of a clamp and then
to the external ground connector screw.
Do not ground to a gas supply pipe
or hot water pipe. Do not connect to
electrical supply until appliance is
permanently grounded. n

Fire/Health Hazard
l Do Not use non-metal,
flexible duct.
0 Do Not use metal duct smaller
than four inches in diameter.
m Do Not use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
B Check that exhaust system is not
longer than specified. Exhaust
systems longer than specifted
will:
-Accumulate lint.
Shorten the life of the dryer.
-Reduce performance, resulting
in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
Lailure to follow specifications
nay result in a fire.
D Do Not exhaust dryer into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct,
attic or crawl space, or any
other duct used for venting.
l Clean the exhaust system every
other year.
l Do Not install flexible duct in
enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.
4ccumulated lint could result in a
‘ire or cause moisture damage.
l Exhaust the dryer outside to
prevent exposure to substances
in the gas fuels and combustion
which may be harmful to your
health.
The moisture and lint indoors
may cause:
- FIRE HAZARD from lint
collected in dryer;
- Moisture damage to
woodwork, furniture, paint,
wallpaper, carpet, etc.
- House cleaning problems and
possible health problems.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire damage or
personal injury.
Metal flexible duct may be used. It
should be fully extended and
supported when the dryer is in its final
position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE
DUCT. The metal flexible duct must
be completely open to allow
adequate exhaust air to flow.
Use Duct Tape to seal all joints.
If the dryer is installed in a confined
area
such as a bedroom, bathroom or
closet, it must be exhausted to the
outside and provision made for
enough air for combustion and
ventilation. (Check governing codes
and ordinances.) Also refer to the
section of this instruction covering
Recessed and Closet Instructions.
The
Exhaust
Outlet is locate
at the bottom center
K
of the dryer back.
The Exhaust Duct
can be routed up,
down, left, right or
straight out the
back of the dryer.
P
An Exhaust Hood should cap the
exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air
returning into dryer The outlet of the
hood must be at least 12 inches from the
ground or anything else that may be
in the path of the exhaust.
A 2% inch outlet Exhaust Hood should
be used with short systems only. (This
outlet creates greater back pressure
than other hood types.]
Exhaust Hoods with magnetic latches
should not be used.
The Maximum Length of the exhaust
system depends upon the type of duct
used, number of elbows and type of
exhaust hood. The maximum length for
both rigid and flexible duct is shown

LENGTH OF
METAL DUCT.
The Maxlmum length using a 2” x 6” rectangular duct with
2 elbows and a 2W’Exhaust hood Is B fl.
For Exhaust Systems not covered by the
exhaust length chart, check with your
Roper dealer or service center for a dryer
manual Part No. 603197. The back
pressure in any exhaust system used must
not exceed 0.6 inches of water column
measured with an inclined manometer at
the point that the exhaust duct connects
to the dryer.
For Mobile Home installation, the dryer
must have an outside exhaust. If you
exhaust the dryer through the
floor and the area under your
mobile home is enclosed, the
exhaust system must terminate
outside the enclosed area.
Extension beyond the
enclosure will prevent lint
and moisture build-up under
mobile home.
