Fire Ha£a_d
Only dry fabrics that have been washed with water°
Do not use heat to dry articles containin 9 foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like materials,, Dry on the Air Dry cyc[eo
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted
outdoors, Take care to prevent the accumulation of lint around the exhaust
openin 9 and in the surrour'_din 9 area°
Do not use fabric softeners or products to e_iminate £atic unmess
recommended by the manufacturer of the _abric softener* or product,,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personat injury,
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
Do not place items in a tumble dryer that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spot cleaned with flammable liquids or solids They are a fire or explosion hazard
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone,
denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some brands of spot removers and dry cleaning solvents,
turpentine, waxes, wax removers, vegetable oil, fish oil, massage oil, and cooking oil
Do not leave hot oil-affected items in a pile or stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and
can create afire hazard. Oil--affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction
in the oil. This oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape the items can become hot
enough to catch fire.
Do not use heat to dry terns containing rubber, foam rubber, plastic or similar materials, (such
as padded bras, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows etc), as these materiaB
might melt or burn. Some rubber materials when heated can under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion. Dry only on the AIR DRY cycle.
Unless specifically recommended by their manufacturer, do not use fabric softeners or similar
products in a tumble dryer
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable gases and liquids near this or any other
appliance.
Keep the area around and underneath your dryer free from the accumulation of combustible
materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.
Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper materials, plastics or plastic
containers etc) next to the dryer
Empty the lint bucket before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section (usually once a
week).
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside, Carefu{[y follow the venting details in the
Installation instructions.
Keep the floor around your dryer clean and dr},, to reduce the possibility of slipping
If }/our dryer is running and you want to unload or add clothes press START/PAUSE and wait
until the machine has unlocked the lid. Do not force it open.

area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
Before installing the dryer ensure that there is sufficient height to fully open the lid. Allow
sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust. The air intake is at the rear of the dryer. Ensure
that there is a sufficient air passage on each side of the dryer for intake air.

Location requirements
The area in which the dryer is located must be
kept clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoJine and other flammabJe vapors and
liquids. A dryer produces combustibJe [int so the
area around the dryer must be cleaned reguJarJy
to keep it free of lint. Fig.3Rearw*nting
This dryer can only be vented from the rear and must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Alcove or closet installation
When installing a dryer in a cbsedalcove it must be exhausted _o the outdoors. No other

Do not use a meta_ foi_ exhaust duct.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and moisture
in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.
This appliance must always be vented to the outdoors.
Exhaust ducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Plastic or metal foil flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying
times and affect dryer operation.
A minimum of 4 inch (100 ram) thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanised metal duct must be
used. Using ducts larger than 4 inches (100 mm) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.
Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation. Thick wall flexible metal
ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the
duct and cause blockages. Do not use plastic ducting or thin wall flexible metal ducting
Use duct tape to secure joints. Do not use screws as they collect lint.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these nstalJation nstructions.
Do not exhaust the dryer into any other duct, chimney or gas vent, a wall, a ceiling or any
concealed space in a building Do not exhaust the dryer under a house or mobile home or a
porch, or into a window well or other area that will accumulate lint.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a
swing out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wild
life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper The
hood should have at least 12 inches (305 mm) clearance
between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other
obstruction The hood opening should point down. Never
install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

When using elbows (rigid duct) or making turns (thick wall flexible metal duct), allow as much
room as possible, With thick wall flexible metal duct bend duct gradually to avoid kinking and
avoid 90°turns,
Fig.12Dud configumfion_
Maximum length of exhaust duct
The maximum length of the exhaust duct system depends upon:
The type of ducts (rigid or thick walled flexible metal),
The number of elbows or bends used
Refer to the exhaust duct length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum duct
lengths you can use. Do not use duct runs longer than specified in the exhaust duct length
charts (refer to page 1S),
Exhaust duct systems longer than specified will:
Accumulate lint creating a potential fire hazard,
Shorten the life of the dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting n longer drying times and an increased energy usage,
Determine the number of elbows/bends you wiJJ need
In the column listing the type of metal duct you are using (rigid or thick wail flexible metal), find
the maximum length of metal duct on the same line as the number of elbows/bends to be used
(refer to page 1S).
