Use grounding wire and clamp
assembly (Part No. 685463) or No.-10
gauge minimum copper grounding
wire.
Figure 14
Connect grounding wire to a
grounded cold water pipe* with the
clamp and then to the
external
grounding connector on the
washer/dryer (see Figures 13 and 14).
Do not ground to a gas supply pipe or
hot water pipe.
Do not connect the
power supply cord to electrical power
supply until the washer/dryer is
permanently grounded.
* Grounded cold water pipe must have
metal continuity to electrical ground
and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber
or other electrical insulating connectors
such as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets
(including water meter or pump). Any
electrical insulating connector should be
jumped as shown in Figure 14 with a
length of No.-4 wire securely clamped to
bare metal at both ends.
Exhaust requirements
A warning
M
Fire Hazard
Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct.
Do Not use metal duct smaller than
4 inches in diameter.
Do Not use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
Check that exhaust system is not
longer than specified. Exhaust
systems longer than specified will;
—Accumulate lint.
— Shorten the life of the product.
— Reduce performance and result in
longer drying times and increased
energy usage.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in a fire.
Do Not exhaust the dryer into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic
or crawl space, or any other duct
used for venting.
Clean the exhaust system every year.
Do Not install flexible duct in walls,
ceiling or floors.
Accumulated lint could cause a fire
or moisture damage.
Exhausting your dryer indoors is Not
recommended. The moisture and lint
indoors may cause:
— Lint to gather inside and around
the dryer and could cause a fire.
— Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
—Housecleaning problems and
possible health problems.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire damage, personal
injury or health problems.
If using an existing exhaust system,
clean lint from entire length of exhaust
system. Make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint.
The exhaust system should be inspected
and cleaned yearly.
Replace any vinyl or metallized plastic
foil exhaust duct with rigid metal or
flexible metal duct.
Use duct tape to seal
all joints. Do Not use
screws to secure duct.
exhaust air flow

r
r
Four-inch rigid metal pipe is preferred.
Plan installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns.
Metal flexible duct 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 fully extended to allow
adequate exhaust air to flow.
Allow as much room as possible when
using elbows or making turns. Bend duct
gradually to avoid kinking. Remove
excess flexible duct to avoid sagging
and kinking that may result in reduced
air flow.
