DRYER SAFETY
■It is recommended that the owner post, in a prominent locaon, instrucons for the customer’s use in the event the customer
smells gas. This informaon should be obtained from your gas supplier.
■Post the following warning in a prominent locaon.

DRYER SAFETY
■Clean dryer lint screen before or aer each load.
■ Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or aempt
any servicing unless specically recommended in this
Installaon Instrucons or in published user-repair
instrucons that you understand and have the skills
to carry out.
■ Do not use fabric soeners or products to eliminate stac
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
soener or product.
■ Do not use heat to dry arcles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
■ The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool-down cycle) to ensure that the arcles are le at
a temperature that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
■ Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of
the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids risk of
spontaneous combuson).
■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulaon of lint,
dust, and dirt.
■ The interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should
be cleaned periodically by qualied service personnel.
■ See “Electrical Requirements” secon for grounding
instrucons.

■ Read all instrucons before using the dryer.
■ This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and texles
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any
other purpose.
■ If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear
the area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
■ Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to
a chemical reacon that could cause a load to catch re.
■ Do not dry arcles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spoed with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable, or explosive
substances as they give o vapors that could ignite
or explode.
■Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
■ Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is
used near children.
■ Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the doors to the dryer compartment.
■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■ Do not open door while dryer is in operaon. It will stop.
■Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to the weather.
■Do not tamper with controls.

Gas Dryer Grounding
 The dryer must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence
of local codes, with the Naonal Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
latest edion, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. If codes
permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended
that a qualied electrical installer determine that the ground
path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

■Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required. A me-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
also recommended. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this dryer be provided.
■This dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3-prong grounding plug.
■ To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be
plugged into a mang, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
If a mang outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligaon of the customer to have the
properly grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
■ Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the
dryer is properly grounded.

Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type
of electrical connecon you will be using and follow the
instrucons provided for it here.
■ This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire
electrical supply connecon. The neutral ground conductor
is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white
wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire
electrical supply connecon, the neutral ground conductor
must be removed from the external ground connector
(green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal
(center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the
neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral
terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the
dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.
■ If local codes do not permit the connecon of a neutral
ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Oponal 3-wire
connecon” secon.
■A 4-wire power supply connecon must be used when the
appliance is installed in a locaon where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the
neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installaons
and (2) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through
the neutral conductor.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer is equipped with a 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.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.

A main vent can be used for venng a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM)
of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design
may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-dra Damper Kit, Part No. 3391910, is available from
your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each
dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to
keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return
air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle poinng in
the direcon of the airow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent
should be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning uid fumes. Fumes
create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heang
units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for
periodic cleaning of the vent system.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing
A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for

Take tape o front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove
the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with a
damp cloth to remove any dust.
Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place
them on the oor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of
the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
Disconnect power before making electrical connecons.
2. Screw in leveling legs

marking. Screw legs into leg holes by
hand. Use an adjustable wrench or
1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench
to nish turning legs unl diamond
marking is no longer visible. Then t
a covered foot boot over each leg foot.
To avoid damage to the oor, use a large piece of cardboard
from the dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide
the dryer unl it is close to its nal locaon. Leave enough
room for electrical connecon and to connect the exhaust
vent.
