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.

1. Form a “U” shape on the end of the drain

hose with the hose pointed toward the

drain.

2. Place the formed end in a laundry tub or a

standpipe and secure the drain hose with

the cable tie (provided in the enclosure

package) to the standpipe, inlet hose,

laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not pull

out from the force of the water.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

A U.L. approved strain relief must be

installed onto power cord. If the strain relief

is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of

the dryer and can be cut by any movement

of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

DO NOT use an aluminum wired receptacle

with a copper wired power cord and plug

(or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs

between copper and aluminum and can

cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and

receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a

copper wired receptacle.

Electrical requirements

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.

E l e c t r i c d r y e r

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

power cord is NOT supplied with unit.

OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R or

NEMA 14-30R receptacle to be located so

the power supply cord is accessible when the

dryer is in the installed position.

GROUNDING CONNECTION - See “Grounding

requirements” in Use & Care instructions. The

laundry center MUST be grounded. In the

event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding

will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a

path of least resistance for electrical current.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can cause an electrical shock that

may result in serious injury or death. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

IMPORTANT

Please review “Troubleshooting” in your Use & Care instruction before calling for service.

Connect to Water Line and Drain

C o n n e c t i n g t o t h e w a t e r l i n e

1. Run some water from the hot and cold

faucets to flush the water lines and remove

particles that might clog the water valve

screens and to determine which faucet is

hot and which is cold supply.

2. Check to ensure that the inlet hoses have

the rubber washer firmly in place. Use only

new hoses.

3. Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT inlet

connection on the washer and the COLD

inlet hose to the COLD inlet connection

on the washer (cold on top). Tighten by

hand until snug. Then tighten each supply

connection another 2/3 turn with pliers.

DO NOT cross thread or over-tighten these

connections.

4. Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT

water supply and the COLD inlet hose to the

COLD water supply. Tighten by hand until

snug. Then tighten each supply connection

another 2/3 turn with pliers. DO NOT bend,

kink, or pinch water inlet hoses.

5. Turn on the water and check for leaks.
