WARNING --Risk of Fire
,, Clothes dryer installationmust be performed by a qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
,, Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. Ifflexible metal
(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified 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 airflow and increase the risk of fire.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
/_To
WARNING ®
reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They
emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a
cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all
traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable 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 (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-
like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,
under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
/f_ What to do if you smell gas:
WARNING Do not try to lightany appliance.
Do not turn on the appliance.
,, Do not touch any electrical switch.
Do not use any phone in your building.
Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
,, Ifyou cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
,, Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the
gas supplier.

WARNING
WARNING
Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying
compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.
Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically
instructed to in the user-repair instructions and you have the understanding and skills to
carry out the procedure.
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 qualified 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
installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
Ensure pockets are free from small, irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.
coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
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 significant 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 fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat
from escaping and can create a fire 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.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS
Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
Do not use a smaller duct.
Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm)in diameter can cause increased lint accumulation.
Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.
If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct
with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer
operation.
Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and
may collect lint.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and
the entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.
The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 era) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and
the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.
Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house
or porch.
If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly
down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before
cleaning.
Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then
check ducting for obstructions.
Do not exhaust dryer into any wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or
any other common duct or chimney. This could create a fire hazard from lint expelled by the dryer.

makesure:
The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
The duct is not kinked or crushed.
The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be
less than 0.
This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust
duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be
empty and the lint filter clean.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept
for future reference.
Z_ Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suffocating.
WARNING
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
Locate the dryer 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 rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the right
or the left (electric model only), use the accessory exhaust kit (sold separately). Instructions are included
with the kit. It's important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where
there is no air-flow obstruction.
On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air
for combustion and proper dryer operation.
Do not install or store the dryer in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Keep the dryer
area clear of combustible materials, casoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces
combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint free.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
z_You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when you install the dryer in alcove
WARN,NGor closet.
No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, you must exhaust the dryer to the outdoors.
See Exhaust information section.
Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:
2" in front, 17" on top, 1" on either side, and 5" in the back.
The closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in2
with 3" minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A Iouvered door with equivalent space clearance is
acceptable.
