EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

The following are specific requirements for

proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow

these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.

ik WARNING

Do

not install a clothes dryer with flexible

plastic venting materials.

If your present system is made up

of plastic duct or metal foil duct,

replace it

with a rigid or flexible

metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil type)

duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the

appliance

manufacturer

as

suitable

for

use

with

clothes

dryers

and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for

Clothes

Dryer

Transition

Duct,

UL

standard

2158A.

Elexible

venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and

trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and

increase the

risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of

any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

CIRCUIT -

Individual 15 amp. branch circuit fused with a 15 amp.

maximum time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

POWER SUPPLY - 3

wire,

120

volt

single

phase,

60

Hz,

Alternating Current.

POWER SUPPLY CORD -

The dryer is equipped with a 120 volt

3-wire power cord.

exhausted outdoors

Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a

wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space

of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the

dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled

into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the

home can create a health and fire hazard.

The dryer must be

connected

to

an

exhaust

outdoors.

Regularly

inspect

the

outdoor

exhaust

opening

and

remove

any

accumulation

of

lint

around

the

outdoor

exhaust

opening

and

in

the

surrounding

area.

A WARNING

Do

not

allow

combustible

materials

(for

example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system.

The dryer

MUST NOT

be

exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed

space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire

hazard.
