Important Safety Instructions
(Save These Instructions)
1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
4. Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
5. Before the dryer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment.
6. Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is
revolving.
7. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
8. Do not tamper with the controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics
or articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials.
12. ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A
layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency
and prolongs drying time.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
15. If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
or if there is damage to or mishandling of this
product’s components, use of this product could
expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
16. Dryer will not operate with the loading door
open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch by
permitting the dryer to operate with the door
open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door
is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop
tumbling when the door is opened or starts
tumbling without pressing the START
mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call
the service person.
17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not be
removed during washing. Due to the remaining
oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.
18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes
which have traces of any flammable substances
such as machine oil, flammable chemicals,
thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or
chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or
anything dry-cleaned at home with a dry-
cleaning solvent in the dryer.
19. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose,
drying clothes.
20. Always disconnect the electrical power to the
dryer before attempting service. Disconnect the
power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
21. If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
22. Install this dryer according to the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All
connections for electrical power, grounding and
gas supply must comply with local codes and be
made by licensed personnel when required. Do
not do it yourself unless you know how!
23. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer
stops.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons when using your
dryer, follow these basic precautions:
W034
WARNING

Important Safety Instructions

24. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning
aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce
the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of reach of children at all times
(preferably in a locked cabinet).
25. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies
unless the label says it can be done. If they are
dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to
remove particles of fiberglass.
26. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the garment manufacturer.
27. Never operate the dryer with any guards and/or
panels removed.
28. DO NOT operate the dryer with missing or
broken parts.
29. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.
30. DO NOT operate dryers if the units have been
separated.
31. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
machine according to the manufacturer’s
instructions may result in conditions which can
produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
IMPORTANT: Solvent vapors from dry-cleaning
machines create acids when drawn through the
heater of the drying unit. These acids are corrosive
to the dryer as well as to the laundry load being
dried. Be sure make-up air is free of solvent vapors.
IMPORTANT: Have your dryer installed properly.
Don’t do it yourself unless you know how!
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common
sense, caution and care must be exercised when
installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent
or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions
you do not understand.

Step 2: Connect Dryer Unit Exhaust
System
For further assistance, refer to sections on Location
Requirements and Dryer Exhaust Requirements.
●DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.
●Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as
possible.
●Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing
your new dryer.
●Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal
duct.
●The male end of each section of duct must point
away from the dryer.
●Use as few elbows as possible.
●Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints.
●Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must
be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint
build-up on pipe walls.
●Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer
installations.
●Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void
warranty.
