Exhaust ducting guide
Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend
that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.
WARNING
• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

The wiring diagram is located on the plate below the control panel.
WARNING
• The improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must
be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 -
Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical
services for your dryer.
• All gas installations must be done in accordance with the national Fuel Code ANSI/Z2231 - Latest
Revision (for the U.S.) or CAN/CGA - B149 Installation Codes - Latest Revision (for Canada) and local
codes and ordinances.
