Electrical Requirements

This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It must

be connected by a competent electrician to a single-phase

electrical supply at the voltage shown on the dataplate, using

a suitable xed wiring installation in accordance with local and

national wiring regulations.

A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 2.5 mm 2

cross-section area should be used.

A 30A supply fuse should be used. A switch having a

contact separation in both poles that provides full

disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions must

be incorporated into the xed wiring for dryer disconnection.

The dryer should be positioned so that the disconnection

switch is easily accessible to the user.

A cord clamp bush is provided on the dryer, and should

be tightened on completion of wiring. The electrical mains

terminals are located behind the small rear access panel

(terminal block cover), and connections should be made in

accordance with the terminal markings. Remember to replace

the terminal access panel (terminal block cover).

NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive

(2004/108/EC), the maximum electric supply system impedance

to which the electric dryer should be connected is declared to

be 0.29 Ohm + J 0.18 Ohm.

If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is

recommended that a competent electrician determine that the

earth bond path is adequate.

Recommended Earthing Method

It is your responsibility to contact a qualied electrical installer

to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in

conformance with all local codes and ordinances.

Venting Requirements

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

The dryer exhaust must not be connected into a ue which

is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas

or other fuels, chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawl space,

concealed space of a building, or any other vent used for

venting.

Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Do not install exible non-metal vent.

Do not install metal vent that is smaller than 102 mm (4")

in diameter.

Do not install exible vent in enclosed walls, ceilings, or

oors.

102 mm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

Use 102 mm (4") clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be

connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices

which extend into the interior of the vent and catch lint. Do

not use duct tape.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect

indoors, which may result in:

Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,

carpets, etc.

Housecleaning problems and health problems.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.

Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and

kinking.

359 mm

(141/8")

260 mm

(101/4")

108 mm

(41/4")

10 mm

(4")

Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when

the dryer is in its nal position. Remove excess exible metal vent

to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airow

and poor performance.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and

insects from entering the home.

Exhaust hood must be at least 305 mm (12") from the ground

or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as

owers, rocks, or bushes, etc.).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length

of the system and make sure the exhaust hood is not plugged

with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal

or exible metal vent.

Plan Vent System

Route the Vent

The exhaust outlet is located at the center of the rear of the dryer.

The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or straight

out the back of the dryer.

The design of the ue system should ensure that any condensate

formed when operating the appliance from cold, is either retained

and subsequently evaporated or discharged. Following these

installation instructions should adequately meet this requirement.

Vent System Length

1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest

number of elbows and turns. Avoid making 90° turns. When

using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as

possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

2. Determine vent length.

The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:

The type of vent (rigid metal or exible metal).

The number of elbows used.

Type of hood.

A. Louvered hood style C. Angled style

B. Box hood style

See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type

for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

Exhaust systems longer than specied will:

Shorten the life of the dryer.

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.

3. Determine the number of elbows needed.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than specied in the Vent

Length Chart.

The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent

length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will

need and the type of vent (rigid or exible metal) and hood

that you will use.

3 Rigid metal 8.2 m (27 ft.) 6.4 m (21 ft.)

4 Rigid metal 6.1 m (20 ft.) 4.3 m (14 ft.)

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one

90º turn to the chart.

The maximum length using a 51 mm x 152 mm (2" x 6")

rectangular vent with 2 elbows and a 64 mm (21/2") exhaust hood

is 2.4 m (8 ft.).

For exhaust systems not covered by exhaust Vent Length Charts

(such as multiple unit hookups, plenums, and power-assist fans),

contact your local authorised service company.

wall opening around exhaust hood.

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must t inside exhaust

hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 102 mm (4") clamp.

3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.

See “Vent Length Chart.” Avoid 90º turns. Use 102 mm (4")

clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or

other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent

to secure the vent, because they can catch lint.

Install Leveling Legs

1. Open dryer door and remove drying rack, if included. Wipe

drum with damp cloth to remove any dust.

2. Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place

them on the oor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp body of the

3. Start to screw legs into holes by hand. Use an adjustable

wrench or 25 mm (1") hex-head socket wrench to nish

turning legs until you reach the ridge with the diamond

marking.

4. To protect the oor, use a large at piece of cardboard from the

dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard.

Electrical Connection

This is a three wire dryer which must be earthed.

This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug; it

must be connected by a competent electrician. See “Electrical

Requirements.”

Level the Dryer

1. Move dryer close to its permanent location. Leave enough

room to connect the exhaust vent. Remove the cardboard

from under the dryer.

2. Check levelness of dryer by placing a level on top of dryer,

rst side to side, then front to back.
