INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Exhaust hood types
If you install your dryer into an existing exhaust system you must make sure that:
The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
You do not use a flexible plastic duct.
You inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
The duct is not dented or crushed.
The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
For best results, the static pressure in any exhaust system should be between .3 to .8 inches of water column, and it
cannot be less than 0 under any circumstances with an installed duct with a four inch diameter.
Electric requirements—Canada only
You need a 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker
on both sides of the line.
All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a
30-ampere receptacle.
In Canada, you may not convert a dryer to 208 volts.
Electric requirements—U.S. only

Note: For products sold in Canada, your dryer has a power cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug.
WARNING:
The power cord plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
If you permanently wire your dryer instead of using a power cord, your dryer must be connected to a
permanently grounded metal wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
Note: For products sold in the U.S., your dryer has an optional cord with an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug, which is sold separately.
WARNING:
The power cord plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is correctly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If you permanently wire your dryer instead of using a power cord, your dryer must be connected to a
permanently grounded metal wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
