rated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 4 open end
spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop
connectors and marked for use with clothes dryers. If
being installed in a manufactured (mobile) home,
thedryer must employ a 4-conductor power supplycord
NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required) rated at

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or
flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has
a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in
operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers
automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance
of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,
maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other
obstruction.
The
requirements for proper and safe operation of your
dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can
create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the
dryer. Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system
and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted
air flow will increase dryer times. If your present system
is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it
with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present
duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
