Safe Servicing Practices For All Appliances
Avoid personal injury and/or property damage by observing important Safe Servicing Practices.
Following are some limited examples of safe practices:
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to complete the repair in a safe and
satisfactory manner.
2. Always use the correct Replacement Parts as indicated in the parts documentation. Substitutions may defeat
compliance with Safety Standards Set For Home Appliances. Do not exceed maximum recommended wattage
on light bulb replacements. Doing so could blow fuses and/or damage transformers.
3. Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• Remove power cord from the electrical outlet, trip circuit breaker to the OFF position, or remove fuse.
• Turn off water supply if applicable.
4. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
5. Use ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE. Substitutions may defeat
compliance with Safety Standards Set For Home Appliances.
6. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or GREEN with YELLOW
STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current carrying conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that
the service technician reestablish all safety grounds prior to completion of service. Failure to do so will create
a hazard.
7. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:
• All electrical connections are correct and secure.
• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges, high-temperature components,
and moving parts.
• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately spaced away from all metal
parts and panels.
• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely connected.
• All panels are properly and securely reassembled.
• Gas and water supplies are turned ON if shut off prior to service.

Basic Information
Important Safety Instructions
Safety Precautions
Do not attempt to install, operate or service the unit until
you have read the safety precautions in this manual.
Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a
Danger, Warning, or Caution based on the risk type.
Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
Child Safety
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing
materials after the dryer is unpacked.
Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent
personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the dryer door to prevent accidental
entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.
Prevent Fire
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near
the dryer. 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 prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing
plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike
materials, or items containing feathers or down. Use Air
Fluff (No Heat) only.
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 personnel. An excessive amount of
lint buildup in these areas could result in inefficient drying
and possible fire.
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked,
damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and
damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has a drying
rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using
the drying rack.
Keep area around exhaust opening and surrounding
areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or
place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of
the dryer.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at
any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire,
explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage
to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
Indicates installation, operation, or maintenance
information which is important but not hazard
related.

Exhaust System Requirements
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) 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 automati-
cally 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.
If the present system is made up of plastic duct or metal
foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct.
In Canada and the United States if metal (foil type) duct
is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the
appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes
dryers and in the United States must also comply with
the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL

DO NOT ALLOW COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
(FOR EXAMPLE: CLOTHING, DRAPERIES AND
CURTAINS, PAPER) TO COME IN CONTACT WITH
EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE DRYER MUST NOT BE
EXHAUSTED INTO A CHIMNEY, WALL, 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. LINT CAN BECOME CAUGHT IN THE
SCREEN, 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 DUCT TAPE. ALL MALE
DUCT PIPE FITTINGS MUST BE INSTALLED
DOWNSTREAM WITH THE FLOW OF AIR.

Installation Information
2-5
Install Male Fittings in Correct Direction:
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:
(See Figure 2-4)
Exhaust System Requirements
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the
dryer.
]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.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system
is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances
could affect the performance of the dryer:
1. Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the
exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase
in vent restriction.
3. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated
area may cause condensation and faster
accumulation of lint.
4. Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
5. 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.
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 Figure 2-5)
Manufactured or Mobile Home Installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured
Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile
Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part
280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer 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 dryer 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 the mobile home
structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other
important exhaust venting system requirements.
5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a
provision must be made for outside make up air.
This provision is to be not less than twice the area of
the dryer exhaust outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer
mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved
Mobile Home Installation Kit.
Figure 2-4.

Clearance Requirements
Installation in a Recess or Closet
1. A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or
closet, MUST be exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in
the same closet as the gas dryer.
3. The dryer needs the space around it for proper
ventilation. DO NOT install dryer in a closet with a
solid door.
4. Closet door ventilation required: A minimum of
120 square inches (774.2 cm²) of opening, equally
divided at the top and bottom of door, is required.
Openings should be located 3 inches (7.6 cm) from
bottom and top of door. Openings are required to be
unobstructed when a door is installed. A louvered
door with equivalent air openings for the full length of
door is acceptable. (See Figure 2-6 & 2-7)
Figure 2-6.
Figure 2-7.
DO NOT INSTALL THE DRYER:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or out
side weather conditions.
2. In an area where it will come in contact with
curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a
maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54 cm).
To achieve an installation with 0” (0cm) clearance
for the back of the dryer (for other than straight
back venting), a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow
must be installed as described previously in this
manual.

Electrical Installation
For a Grounded, Cord-connected Dryer:
(U.S.A. Electric Dryer)
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance
for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4 Wire
power supply cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug that matches your
wiring system, 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. If in doubt, call a licensed
electrician.
DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed on this
appliance.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment
grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
For a Grounded, Cord-connected Dryer:
(Canada Electric Dryer)
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance
for electrical current.
2. Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug, the plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance.
Gas Dryer
1. The dryer is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle.
DO NOT cut or remove ground prong from the plug.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS DRYER. SOME EXTENSION CORDS ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND THE AMOUNTS OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT THIS DRYER UTILIZES AND
CAN MELT, CREATING ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND/OR FIRE HAZARD. LOCATE THE DRYER WITHIN
REACH OF THE RECEPTACLE FOR THE LENGTH POWER CORD TO BE PURCHASED, ALLOWING SOME
SLACK IN THE CORD.
A U.L.-APPROVED STRAIN RELIEF MUST BE INSTALLED ONTO POWER CORD. IF THE STRAIN RELIEF
IS NOT ATTACHED, THE CORD CAN BE PULLED OUT OF THE DRYER AND CAN BE CUT BY ANY
MOVEMENT OF THE CORD, RESULTING IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
DO NOT USE AN ALUMINUM WIRED RECEPTACLE WITH A COPPER WIRED POWER CORD AND PLUG
(OR VICE VERSA). A CHEMICAL REACTION OCCURS BETWEEN COPPER AND ALUMINUM AND CAN
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS. THE PROPER WIRING AND RECEPTACLE IS A COPPER WIRED POWER
CORD WITH A COPPER WIRED RECEPTACLE.
