Do Not use two-wire with bare ground wire. All current-carrying wires must be insulated. A conduit connector must be installed at each end of the power supply cable (at the dryer and at the junction box. ) USE ONLY 10-GAUGE SOLID COPPER WIRE. Allow 4 ft (1. 22 m) of slack in the line so the dryer can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Electrical Connection Recommended Ground Method ■■ It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances. Plug power supply cord into the grounded outlet or connect direct wire to power supply. Turn power supply on. 6 Venting Requirements Elbows: Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Good Better Clamps: ■■ Use clamps to seal all joints. ■■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the vent and catch lint. Do not use duct tape. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

However, a 21⁄2" (64 mm) 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21⁄2" (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required. Rigid metal vent ■■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking. Plan Vent System Determine vent path: ■■ Vent outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back. ■■ The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer, Flexible metal vent ■■ Must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in it’s final location. ■■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result or straight out the back of the dryer. possible. in reduced airflow and poor performance. floors. ■■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as ■■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. ■■ Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings, or 7 Vent System Length Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood.
