4IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
• Ensure the entire laundry center exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris
prior to the installation of your new laundry center. The entire exhaust system
should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal
usage. Failure to comply with cleaning your exhaust system will increase the RISK
of FIRE.
• DO NOT install the laundry center with flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material.
Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint.
These conditions will obstruct laundry center airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or
other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. NO screen
or grate of any mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor exhaust opening.
• Install the laundry center according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Laundry center installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.

USING THE APPLIANCE.
 DO NOT wash or dry items that have
been previously cleaned in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning
solvents, kerosene, waxes, or other
flammable or explosive substances. DO
NOT store these items on or near the
laundry center. These substances give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
 DO NOT place items exposed to
cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction
that could cause a load to catch
fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of a
tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down period). Avoid stopping
a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the
heat is dissipated.
 DO NOT dry articles containing rubber,
plastic or similar materials such as
bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs,
baby pants, plastic bags and pillows
that may melt or burn. Some rubber
materials, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
 DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint
screen is blocked, damaged or missing.
Fire hazard, overheating and damage to
fabrics can occur.
 DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilating
air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Clean the lint screen before or after each
load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen
housing and exhaust duct should be
cleaned approximately every 18 months
by qualified service professional. An
excessive amount of lint build-up in these
areas could result in inefficient drying and
possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
The dryer operation of a laundry center
produces combustible lint. The dryer must
be connected to an outdoor exhaust.
Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation of
dust, dirt, and lint around the opening and
in the surrounding area.
WARNING
DO NOT continue to use the laundry center
if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing
or other unusual noises. This could be a
sign of mechanical breakdown and lead
to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the
washer, turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen
gas is flammable; DO NOT smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury
and/or damage to the laundry center
Protect Children
• Risk of suffocation and injury from
entrapment. Do not allow children to
play on or in the laundry center. Close
supervision of children is necessary
when the laundry center is used. As
children grow, teach them the proper,
safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and
other packing materials after the
laundry center is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads or
plastic sheets can become airtight
compartments.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s
reach. To prevent personal injury,
observe all warnings on product labels.
• Remove the laundry center doors to
prevent accidental entrapment before
the laundry center is removed from
service or discarded.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injuries.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
laundry centers are still dangerous – even if
they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting
rid of your old laundry center, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.

WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Certain internal parts are intentionally
not grounded and may present a risk
of electrical shock if contacted during
installation. Do not contact the following
parts while the appliance is energized
• Pump
• Drive motor
• Electrical control boards
• Water valves
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrical shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
Water Supply Requirements
Grounding requirements
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with
a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug, the plug MUST be
plugged into an appropriate, copper
wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances or
in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 (latest edition), or in Canada, the
Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1.
If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding
prong on the power supply cord. In
situations where a two-slot receptacle
is present, it is the owner’s responsibility
to have a licensed electrician replace it
with a properly grounded three prong
grounding type receptacle.
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be
installed within hose length of your washer’s
water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch
(1.9 cm) with threading for laundry hose
connection. Water pressure MUST be
between 20 and 120 psi. Pressure difference
between hot and cold cannot be more than
10 psi. Your water department can advise you
of your water pressure.
Drain System Requirements
1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals
(64.3 L) per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18
cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor :
Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm).

Exhaust System Requirements
Duct Work Requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter 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.

NOTE
Drain hose length is 59 in. (150 cm). For
installations requiring a longer drain hose,
use hose P/N 137098000, available from
an authorized parts distributor.

NOTE
For installations requiring a longer
drain hose, have a qualified technician
install a longer drain hose (according to
your model number) available from an
authorized parts distributor. For drain
systems in the floor, install a siphon break
kit available from your local hardware
store.
1. 96” (244cm) max.
2. 24” (61 cm) min.
If your present system is made up of plastic
duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a
rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure
the present duct is free of any lint prior to
installing dryer duct.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install a laundry center with
flexible plastic or metal foil venting
materials. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct
laundry center airflow and increase the
risk of fire.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create
excessive drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your laundry
center.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• A laundry canter must be exhausted
outdoors.
• DO NOT exhaust laundry center into
a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of
a building.
• A laundry center produces combustible
lint. If the laundry center is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint
will be expelled into the laundry area.
An accumulation of lint in any area of
the home can create a health and fire
hazard.
• Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation
of lint around the outdoor exhaust
opening and in the surrounding area.

The laundry center must be connected to
an exhaust outdoors. Prior to installing
your new laundry center, inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any
accumulation of lint around the outdoor
exhaust opening and in the surrounding
area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact
with exhaust system. The laundry
center MUST NOT be exhausted into
a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any
concealed space of a building which
can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire
hazard.
 DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the
vent system, or use any screws, rivets or
other fasteners that extend into the duct
to assemble the exhaust system. No
screen, grate, or guard of any mesh
size is allowed to cover
the exhaust opening.
Lint can become caught
in the screen, grate,
guard, or on the screws or
rivets, clogging the duct work
and creating a fire hazard as well
as increasing drying times. Use an
approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with
metal foil tape. All male duct pipe
fittings MUST be installed downstream
with the flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Never exceed more than 4-90˚ elbows in
the exhaust duct system. Exceeding the
length of duct pipe or number of elbows
allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH”
charts can cause an accumulation of lint
in the exhaust system. Plugging the system
could create a fire hazard, as well as
increase drying times.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT install flexible plastic or flexible
foil venting material.
• DO NOT exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length
if installing semi-rigid venting.
• DO NOT use screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to
assemble the exhaust system.
Exhaust Direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished
by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow
directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent
elbows are available through your local parts
distributor or hardware store.
See Clearance Requirements

17
PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install the laundry center where
gasoline or other flammables are kept or
stored. Installation must be a minimum of
18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor if the
laundry center is in a garage. Failure to
do so can result in death, explosion, fire
or burns.

NOTE
90° quick-turn elbows
are required to meet
minimum installation
depth.
In installations where the exhaust system is
not described in the charts, the following
method must be used to determine if the
exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital
manometer between the laundry center
and the point the exhaust connects to
the laundry center.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to
air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the
manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST
NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water
column. If the system back pressure is
less than 1.0 inch of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer
reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water
column, the system is too restrictive
and the installation is unacceptable.
Install male fittings in the correct direction
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance
of the laundry center:
• Only rigid metal duct work should be
used.
• Venting vertically through a roof may
expose the exhaust system to down
drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through
an uninsulated area may cause
condensation and faster accumulation
of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust
system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
• The exhaust system should be
inspected and cleaned a minimum of
every 18 months with normal usage. The
more the dryer is used, the more often
you should check the exhaust system
and vent hood for proper operation and
that it is free of obstructions.
Manufactured or Mobile Home
Installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction &
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-
80 or the Standard For Mobile Homes,
CAN/CSA-Z240 MH.
2. The laundry center MUST be exhausted
outside (outdoors, not beneath the
mobile home) using metal ducting that
will not support combustion. Metal
ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. Rigid
metal duct is preferred.
3. If the laundry center is exhausted
through the floor and area beneath the
mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust
system MUST terminate outside the
enclosure with the termination securely
fastened to a non-combustible portion
of the mobile home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this
manual for other important exhaust
venting system requirements.
5. When installing a gas laundry center

Clearance Requirements
Installation In a Recess or
Closet
1. A laundry center installed in a recess or
closet MUST be exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall
be installed in the same recess or closet
as a gas laundry center.
3. Your laundry center needs space
around it for proper ventilation. See
the“Clearance Requirements” chart.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches of inlet
ventilation opening to the recess or
closet is required for proper air flow to
the laundry center.
F or other than straight back venting, a quick-
turn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed to
achieve 0” (0 cm) installation.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR LAUNDRY
CENTER:
• In an area exposed to dripping water
or outside weather conditions. The
ambient temperature should never
be below 60° F (15.6° C) to maximize
detergent effectiveness.
• In an area where it will come in contact
with curtains, drapes, or anything that
will obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• In an area where gasoline or other
flammables are kept or stored.
• On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with
a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
To minimize vibration or movement,
reinforcement of the floor may be
necessary.
• Do not install laundry center on
pedestal.
5. Inlet air ventilation to the recess or
closet can be satisfied by adding 120
square inches of opening, equally
divided at the top and bottom of the
door and located 3 inches from the
bottom and top of the door.
or, adding 120 square inches of
ventilation openings to the top, sides
or rear wall of the closet wall, if the wall
is adjacent to an open room, hallway,
or exterior.
or, a louvered door with equivalent air
