Installation
*Please refer to the Use & Care instruction booklet provided with this laundry center for further details.
WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
• Ensure the entire dryer exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris prior to the
installation of your new laundry center. The entire exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. Failure to comply with cleaning
your exhaust system will increase the RISK of FIRE.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material. Flexible
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.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. NO screen or grate of
any mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor exhaust opening.
• Install the laundry center according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
• Laundry Center installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
• The electrical service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 part 1.
• The laundry center is designed under UL 2158 - CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 112 (latest editions) for
HOME USE only. This laundry center is not recommended for commercial applications such as
restaurants, beauty salons, etc.
• Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use
them to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers causing suffocation. Place all materials in a garbage container or make materials
inaccessible to children.
The instructions in this manual and all other literature included with this dryer are not meant to
cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Good safe practice and caution MUST
be applied when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

Electrical requirements
Electric dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit
fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit
breakers.
POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 240 volt,
single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current. The

Since your laundry center is equipped with
a power supply cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appro-
priate, copper wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or in Canada,
the Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1. If in
doubt, call a licensed electrician.
DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on
the power supply cord. In situations where a
two-slot receptacle is present, it is the owner's
responsibility to have a licensed electrician
replace it with a properly grounded three prong
grounding type receptacle.
