this happens, after approximately two minutes
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy, yellow tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
a. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
b. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the
right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
c. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
d. Reinstall the lower front panel.

will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
NOTE: Have a qualified electrician check the
polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading
is measured other than that illustrated, the qualified
electrician should correct the problem.
Do not operate other appliances on the same circuit
when this appliance is operating.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death, all wiring and
grounding MUST conform with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1, and such local
regulations as might apply. It is the
customer’s responsibility to have the wiring
and fuses checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure your home has adequate

Dryer Exhaust Requirements . . .
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as
a wall or ceiling.
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible
metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or
flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor
drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to
a fire hazard.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints

Make-Up Air Requirements
For proper operation it is important that you locate the
dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up
air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.
Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can
accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the
home. These devices can be obtained through your
building contractor or building material suppliers.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors.
