and the ground or any other obstruction.
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.
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe opera-
tion of your dryer.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Do not install a clothes dryer 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 clothes dryer airflow
and increase the risk of fire.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not
exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic,
a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A
clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer 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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Do not allow combustible materials (for example:
clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer 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. 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 metal foil duct
tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed
downstream with the flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Do not install flexible plastic or flexible foil venting
material.
• If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft.
(2.4 m) duct length.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
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.

8
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust direction
The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with
rear flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter
[102 mm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter [102
mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter
[102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow
right)
Exhaust system requirements, continued
In installations where the exhaust system is not described
in previous pages, the following method must be used to
determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the
dryer.
2Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff and
start the dryer.
3Read the measurement on the manometer.
4The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher
than 0.75 inches of water column. If the
system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of
water column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches 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:
• 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.
Install male fittings in correct direction:
CORRECT INCORRECT
To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (28 cm) length of standard
4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The
unit will be positioned about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) away
from the wall (flush to wall exhausting may be done by
going below the dryer then sideways).
An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer
exhaust can be installed directly through the outside wall.
To exhaust to the side or down, add an 8 inch (20.3 cm)
length of standard 4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a
90° elbow.

manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in
the same room as the dryer and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block
access to the gas shutoff valve.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service without
converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must be
installed by a qualified gas technician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling your laundry center
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by
properly leveling the laundry center.
1With the laundry center within 4 feet (1 m) of its
final location, place a level on top of the washer lid.
2Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so
the laundry center is level front-to-rear and side-to-
side, and stable corner-to-corner.
3Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel
for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate
leg(s) so the laundry center sits solidly on the floor
on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at
a minimum for best performance of the washer.
1 Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to
flush the water lines and remove particles that might
clog the water valve screens and to determine which
faucet is hot and which is cold supply.
2 Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers from the
plastic bag located in the drum of the washer and install
the rubber washers in each end of the inlet hoses.
Connecting inlet water
3 Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT inlet
connection on the washer and the COLD inlet hose to
the COLD inlet connection on the washer. Tighten by
hand until snug. Then tighten each supply connection
another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not cross thread
or over-tighten these connections.
4Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT water
supply and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD water
supply. Tighten by hand until snug. Then tighten
each supply connection another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Do not bend, kink or pinch water inlet hoses.
5Turn on the water and check for leaks.

ÍNOTE
A wiring diagram and technical data sheet are located
behind the dryer access panel.
1Form a “U” shape on the end of the drain hose with the
hose pointed toward the drain. Place the formed end in
a laundry tub or a standpipe and secure with a cable tie
provided in the enclosure package.
2Place the hook end of the drain hose in the drain
opening. Secure the drain hose with the cable tie
(provided in the enclosure package) to the standpipe,
inlet hose, laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not pull
out from the force of the water.
3Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT
Be sure the power is off at a circuit breaker/fuse box before
plugging the power cord into an outlet.
4Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
5Read the Use & Care Guide provided with the laundry
center. It contains valuable and helpful information that
will save you time and money.
6Run the washer through a complete cycle, checking for
water leaks and proper operation.
7If you have any questions during initial operation,
please review the “Avoid Service Checklist” in your Use
& Care Guide before calling for service.
8Place these instructions in a location near the appliance
for future reference.
