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 equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected appliance:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system. Alternatively, an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

INSTALLING THE DRYER

Step 1 : Position and Level the Dryer

For further assistance refer to section on Location Requirements.

Place the dryer in position, and adjust the legs until the dryer is level from side to side and front to back.

Level floor : Maximum slope under entire dryer should not be more than 2.5cm (1 inch). If slope is greater than 2.5 cm (1inch), clothes may not tumble properly and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

Step 2 : Connect Dryer Exhaust System

For further assistance refer to sections on Location Requirements and Dryer Exhaust Requirements.

WARNING

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.

To reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.

Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.

Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new dryer.

Use 4” (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.

The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

Use as few elbows as possible.

Use duct tape on all duct joints.

Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls.

Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
