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.
■WARNING: 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precauons,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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.
■WARNING: 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

Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or
recessed area.
Companion appliance locaon requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it
will be exposed to the weather. Proper installaon is your
responsibility.
You will need:
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 . (1.8 m) of
where the power cord is aached to the back of the dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A level oor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
enre dryer. Installing the dryer on so oor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
Dryer installation clearances
■ The locaon must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to be fully opened.
■Addional spacing should be considered for ease of
installaon and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
■Addional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
oor moldings.
■ Addional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
When installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not
permit installaon of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
■ Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back
and boom sides of the dryer, are free of obstrucons to
permit adequate clearance of air openings for combuson
air. See “Recessed Area and Closet Installaon Instrucons”
below for minimum spacing requirements.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. For
recessed area and closet installaons, minimum clearances
can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer
or in “Dimensions/Clearances.”
The installaon spacing is in inches and is the minimum
allowable. Addional spacing should be considered for ease
of installaon, servicing, and compliance with local codes and
ordinances.
If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air
opening in the top and boom is required. Louvered doors
with equivalent air openings are acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same
closet as the dryer.

Gas Dryer Grounding
IMPORTANT: 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:
Naonal Fire Protecon Associaon
One Baerymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
CSA Internaonal

Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575
■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.

The design of this dryer has been cered by CSA Internaonal
for use at altudes up to 10,000 feet (3048 m) above sea level
at the B.T.U. rang indicated on the model/serial plate. Burner
input adjustments are not required when the dryer is operated
up to this elevaon.
When installed above 10,000 feet (3048 m), a four percent
(4%) reducon of the burner B.T.U. rang shown on the model/
serial plate is required for each 1,000 foot (305 m) increase in
elevaon. For assistance when converng to other gas types
and/or installing above 10,000 feet (3048 m) elevaon, contact
your local service company.
