plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a power cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet with a 3-prong ground
receptacle. To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and
not left exposed or dangling.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug and/or outlet can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, or
either:
• If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
• If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING: DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any
circumstances.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety
precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Risk of child entrapment and suffocation; never allow children to operate, play with, or
crawl inside the appliance.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See the
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” section found on page 4.
4. Install or locate the appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. DO NOT place the dryer in steamy rooms or where the dryer is directly exposed to rain.
Moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing an electrical shock hazard.
6. Use the dryer only for its intended use as described in the user guide. This type of dryer
is specifically designed to dry clothes. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used around children or
incapacitated persons.
8. DO NOT operate the dryer if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped in any manner.
9. The dryer should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
10. DO NOT cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. DO NOT put your hand in the spin basket during operation. The spin basket is rotating at
a high speed and the rotating parts may cause injury to your hand.
12. DO NOT immerse the power cord or plug in water.
13. Keep the cord away from all heated surfaces.
14. DO NOT store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
15. When cleaning the surfaces of the door and the frame, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps
or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Never clean appliance parts with
flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION
LOCATION
1. Examine the dryer after unpacking. Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken
door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is visible, DO NOT install, and notify your dealer
immediately.
2. Check to ensure that you have the wall-mounting kit and four (4) leveling legs.
3. Install the dryer on a flat, level surface. If the surface is uneven, adjust the leveling legs.
If you are going to wall mount your dryer, use the included wall-mounting kit.
4. Install the dryer away from direct sunlight; direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating,
plastic and electrical components. The room temperature should not fall below 32°F.
5. Check the ventilation. DO NOT block the air vents, especially when the dryer is
installed on a carpeted floor. If the air vents are blocked during operation, the dryer
may overheat and eventually fail. For proper ventilation, allow at least 5 inches of space
between the dryer top, sides, rear, and adjacent surfaces.
6. Install the dryer away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the dryer away
from heat, steam, or splashing liquids. Never splash water onto the control panel. These
things can adversely affect the wiring and electrical conduction contacts of the dryer.
7. Check the power supply.
a) Check your local power source. The dryer requires a current of
approximately 12 Amperes, 120 Volts, and a 60 Hz grounded outlet.
b) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Ensure that the dryer does
not stand on its power cord.
c) Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at the very least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding type, 3-wire cord.
• A longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
appliance where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
d) Plug the dryer into a properly installed receptacle box that is fully grounded.
DO NOT under any circumstances modify, cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding
should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.

ADJUSTING THE LEVELING LEGS
The dryer is shipped with a bag containing the user guide and
four (4) leveling legs. See the illustration to the right to install
and adjust the leveling legs.

vibrations will occur from the appliance. If the floor is uneven,
adjust the height level of the leveling legs accordingly. DO NOT
insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the legs. Leveling Leg
Wall-Mounting Instructions
*NOTE: It is recommended to complete the following procedure with at least 2 people.
NOTE: As wall materials vary, the supplied hardware for fixing to the wall may be inappropriate for your wall
type. Consult your local hardware / home improvement center for suggestions on the necessary hardware for
your particular wall type.
1 Determine the position where you will be installing the mounting hooks.
• This dryer is not designed to sit on top of your washing machine.
• A minimum of 2 inches is required between the top of the dryer and the ceiling above to allow easy
installation and adequate spacing for exhaust.
If mounting above a top load washing machine, allow sufficient spacing to open the lid of the washer. In the
case of a front loading washer, allow sufficient breathing space.
2 Although the supplied mounting hooks can be installed directly to the wall using the existing wooden studs, the
preferred method of installation is using wooden slats that provide a flat, level installation surface and added
stability to the whole wall installation.
3 Use two wooden slats (not included)
between the studs to mount the hooks.
Recommended wooden slat size is 23” (L)
x 3½” (H) x 1” (D).
When using the wooden slats to install
on drywall material, you must use
expansion wall anchor bolts to safely
secure the slats to the drywall.

4Install the wall-mounting hooks to the
wooden slats installed in the previous step.
Using the (4) 1” Phillips head screws
included, affix the mounting hooks to the
wooden slats as shown in the diagram to
the right.
5Install the exhaust pipe as shown in the
illustration using the (3) ½” long Phillips
round head screws included.
• For a downward exhaust, join the
sections (1) pointing downward.
• For an upward exhaust, join the
sections (2) pointing upward
6Install the lower wall spacers (included)
using the (2) ½” long Phillips flat head
screws (included).
These spaces are required when installing
the unit on the wall to allow the necessary
ventilation for efficient operation.
Failure to install the spacers will both
reduce the ventilation needed to operate
your unit as well as put the appliance in
a tilted position on the wall which could
present a possible unstable wall installation.
7 Mounting the dryer to the wall hanging
assembly.
With the assistance of a 2nd person, lift
the dryer and align the mounting holes
at the rear of the dryer with the mounting
hooks.
Tilting the dryer to a 45° angle, insert the
hanging brackets into the mounting holes on
the dryer as shown in the figure to the right.
Once the dryer mounts are in place,
slowly lower the dryer in place and
check all installation points for stress or
weakened contact.
