CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING
Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
WARNING - Risk of Fire
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualied installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with exible plastic venting materials. If exible metal
(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specic type identied by the appliance
manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct
clothes dryer airow and increase the risk of re.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• Save these instructions.

Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any ammable substance,
such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ammable chemicals, paint thinner,
etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths.
Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch re by itself.
4. Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids near this or any
other appliance.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near children.
6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the
drying compartment.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
9. Do not tamper with internal controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any service unless
specically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-
repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
11. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
12. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
13. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-

16. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with
cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch
re. To reduce the risk of re due to contaminated loads, the nal part of a tumble
dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping 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.
17. This appliance must be grounded. See “Electrical requirements” and ”Grounding” in
“Installation” section.
18. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near children.
19. Do not insert your hand under the dryer.
• This may result in injury.
20. Take care that children’s ngers are not caught in the door when closing it.
• This may result in injury.
21. The control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a
risk of electric shock only during servicing.
• Do not contact these parts while the appliance is energized.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or explosion:
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances. They
emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a
cleaning solvent or ammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until
all traces of these ammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly ammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (which may be labeled latex foam) or similarly
textured rubberlike materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam
rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, ignite spontaneously.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless the softener or
product is recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust,
and dirt.
• The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualied
service personnel.
• This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle
that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See
the installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
• Do not sit on top of the dryer.
• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
• Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil
or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain signicant amounts
of these oils.
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous
combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation
reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.
• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.

Installation requirements
Read through the following instructions before installing the dryer and keep this manual
for future reference.
WARNING
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric
shock only during servicing.
Service Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized:
Control board and inlet valve.
Key installation requirements
• A grounded electrical outlet.
• A power cord for electric dryers (except
in Canada).
• Gas lines (for gas models) that must
meet national and local regulations.
• An exhaust system made of rigid metal
or exible stiff-walled metal exhaust
ducting.
WARNING
Remove the door from all discarded
appliances to prevent a child from
suffocating.
Location considerations
The dryer should be located where there
is enough space at the front for loading
the dryer, and enough space behind for
the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-
ready for the rear exhaust option. To
exhaust out the bottom, right or the left,
use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions
are included with the kit. Make sure
the room in which the dryer is located
has enough fresh air. The dryer must
be located where there are no air-ow
obstructions. For gas dryers, adequate
clearance must be maintained as noted
on the data plate to ensure adequate
air for combustion and the proper dryer
operation.
The dryer must not be installed or stored
in an area where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather. The dryer area must
be kept clear of combustible materials,
gasoline, and other ammable vapors and
liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint.
The area around the dryer should be kept
lint-free.
