An E-Manual Sample

Installing the Dryer

 

The washer may be heavier, but easier to connect. The dryer on the other hand is lighter but for some can be difficult to connect. This is where we come in. The following accessories can be purchased at any hardware store.

 

What you will need for accessories:

 

 

Pay attention to this closely. The dryer cord above is what we call a 3 wire or 3 prong dryer cord. The cord above fits electrical sockets like the one below:

Do you see why they are called 3 prong cords? They fit the three holes for this type of socket. Remember, all 3 prong cords are Gray. All 4 prong cords are Black. 

"How" Others give you Information

This how to doesnt even tell you that you need to connect the dryer cord and check to see what kind of plug you should have with your cord. This is not quality.

Make sure that your outlet and dryer requirements are the same before you purchase your dryer, if possible. Most dryers are 220 volts, but some smaller, older ones still use 110 volts.

Step2
Check to make sure the vent hole on the dryer is compatible with the vent hole in your home. If they are not compatible, you will either have to make a new hole or get a different dryer.
Step3
Turn off the breaker or breakers feeding the dryer outlet. A 110-volt outlet will have one breaker; a 220-volt outlet will have two.
Step4
Be sure that the floor is clean and dry.
Step5
Fasten the vent hose to the duct leading outside with a hose clamp, a circular metal ring that resembles a tie wrap with a bolt on top.
Step6
Plug the dryer in and move it into place, hooking up the vent hose when you can reach it. Use a hose clamp to fasten the hose to the dryer's exhaust port.
Step7
Push the dryer the rest of the way into the space, being careful not to crimp the hose.
Step8
Turn the breaker or breakers back on.
Step9
Dry!
