Electrical Shock Hazard
This is a 3-wire appliance which must be earthed.
If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used,
it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the earth bond path is adequate.
Recommended Earthing Method
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified 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 fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Following these venting requirements will minimise ducting
■
air noise.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue for
■
exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
■
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed
space of a building. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall
be used for exhausting.
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
■
102 mm (4") heavy, metal exhaust vent
Only a 102 mm (4") heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps
■
may be used.
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the
■
backflow of gases into the room from appliances burning
other fuels, including open fires (i.e. available airflow into the
room should match airflow out from the room).
Forced ventilation of fresh air is required.
■
If exhaust is connected to a commonly used exhaust
■
system, it is required to install flap valves at each
connection or alternative adequate countermeasures.
Exhaust air must not be connected to an exhaust channel of
■
a furnace.
Rigid metal vent:
Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
■
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent:
(Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
■
Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may
■
result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
■
The total length should not exceed 2.4 m (7
■
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
■
insects from entering the building.
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid
metal or flexible metal vents. Review "Vent System Chart" and
if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
