Exhaust/Ducting:
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEAM FUNCTIONS
wWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted
to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large
amounts of moisture will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of
the home can create a health and fire hazard.
• Use only rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal 4-inch
diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for
exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other
combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured
ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes
otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The
end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent
backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure
to clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
• Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended
for use between the dryer and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a
connection with the above recommendations, a UL-
listed flexible metal transition duct may be used
between the dryer and wall connection only. The
use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure
all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow
the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in a burn
hazard.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
• Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in fire or death.
• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during
or after the steam cycle. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in a burn hazard.
• Do not fill the steam feeder with hot water (over 86
˚F/30 ˚C). Failure to follow these instructions can result

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
wWARNING
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
wWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the ground prong from the power cord. To prevent
injury to persons or damage to the dryer, the electrical
power cord must be plugged into a properly grounded
outlet.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded. Failure to do so can result in electric shock
or injury.
• Refer to the installation instructions in this manual
for specific electrical requirements for your model.
Failure to follow these instructions can create an
electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.
• This dryer must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. Electric shock can result if the
dryer is not properly grounded. Have the wall
outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions can create an
electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.
• The dryer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides
the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged,
resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. The power cord can
melt, creating an electric shock and/or fire hazard.
• When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not
to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This will
prevent injury and prevent damage to the dryer from
fire and electric shock.

NOTE
• Floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. Clothes may not tumble
properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a
pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.
NOTE
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one to the other. With enough vibration, the appliances will make noise or touch each other
causing paint damage and making even more noise.

Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make
sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.
If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal,
you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to
level the dryer. The dryer leveling feet should be fully
retracted.
2. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the leveling feet.
Turn clockwise to raise the dryer or counterclockwise
to lower it. Raise or lower the leveling feet until the
dryer is level from side to side and front to back.
Make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm contact
with the floor.

Venting the Dryer
wWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Do not crush or collapse ductwork. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire or death.
• Do not allow ductwork to rest on or contact sharp
objects. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• If connecting to existing ductwork, make sure it
is suitable and clean before installing the dryer.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• Venting must conform to local building codes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid, semi-rigid, or
flexible metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
and for venting outside. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or
accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT
exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated
area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space,
chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a
building. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer
with plastic or thin foil ducting.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure
to clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
• Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is recommended
for use between the dryer and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a
connection with the above recommendations, a
UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used
between the dryer and wall connection only. The
use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure
all joints with duct tape. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
• To maximize operating results, please observe the
duct length limitations noted in the chart on the
next page. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in fire or death.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The
end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent
backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not
exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m)
• In Canada, only those foil-type flexible ducts,
if any, specifically identified for use with the
appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In the
United States, only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any,
specifically identified for use with the appliance by the
manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A, shall be
used.
