DRYER SAFETY
QIt is recommended that the owner post, in a prominent location, instructions for the customer’s use in the event the customer
smells gas. This information should be obtained from your gas supplier.
QPost the following warning in a prominent location.

3
DRYER SAFETY
IMPORTANT: When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door.

4
DRYER SAFETY
QClean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
QDo not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
QDo not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt
any servicing unless specically recommended in this
Installation Instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills
to carry out.
QDo not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
QDo not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
QThe nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left
at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
QWARNING: 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 combustion).
QKeep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
QThe interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should
be cleaned periodically by qualied service personnel.
QSee “Electrical Requirements” section for grounding
instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
QRead all instructions before using the dryer.
QThis dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
QWARNING: 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.
QDo 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.
QDo not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
QDo not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
QDo not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer
is used near children.
QBefore the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the doors to the dryer compartment.
QDo not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
QDo not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.
QDo not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to water and/or the weather.
QDo not tamper with controls.

Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room,
or recessed area.
This dryer is not intended for installation in a mobile home.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to water and/or the weather. Proper installation is your
responsibility.
You will need:
QA grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
QA level oor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft oor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
Gas dryer installation clearances
QThe location must be large enough to allow the dryer door
to be fully opened.
QAdditional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
QAdditional clearances might be required for wall, door,
and oor moldings.
QAdditional 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.
QCheck code requirements: Some codes limit or do not
permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets,
or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
QMake sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back
and bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to
permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion
air. See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions”
below for minimum spacing requirements.

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 National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, latest edition, 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:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575
QDo not ground to a gas pipe.
QDo not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
QA 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this dryer be provided.
QThis dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having
a 3-prong grounding plug.
QTo minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the
properly grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
QIf codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
QCheck with a qualied electrician if you are not sure
the dryer is properly grounded.

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.
