DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will cause severe personal injury or death.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could cause severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may cause minor or moderate personal injury or property damage.

Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions:

W034

1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the dryer.

3. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

5. Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT” and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used to inform the reader of specific procedures where minor machine damage will occur if the procedure is not followed.

NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate installation, operation, maintenance or servicing information that is important but not hazard related.

6. Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.

7. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

8. Do not tamper with the controls.

9. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

12. ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

512685

Safety Information

13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

15. If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or if there is damage to or mishandling of this product’s components, use of this product could expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

16. Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the service person.

17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not be removed during washing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.

18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or anything dry-cleaned at home with a drycleaning solvent in the dryer.

19. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.

20. Always disconnect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

21. If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

22. Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for electrical power, grounding and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!

23. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.

24. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet).

25. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.

26. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

27. Never operate the dryer with any guards and/or panels removed.

28. DO NOT operate the dryer with missing or broken parts.

29. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

30. DO NOT operate dryers if the units have been separated.

31. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

IMPORTANT: Solvent vapors from dry-cleaning machines create acids when drawn through the heater of the drying unit. These acids are corrosive to the dryer as well as to the laundry load being dried. Be sure make-up air is free of solvent vapors.

IMPORTANT: Have your dryer installed properly. Don’t do it yourself unless you know how!

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.

512685

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

DON’TDO

D354I D356I

Figure 4

• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as

possible.

• Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing

your new dryer.

• Use 4 inch (102 mm) 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.

• Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be

greater than .6 inches water column (1.5 cm), measured with manometer placed on exhaust duct two feet (61 cm) from dryer (check with dryer running and no load). In multi-dryer installations, all dryers connected to the main collector duct should be operating when pressure is checked.

• Exhausting dryer in hard-to-reach locations can

be done by installing 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent Kit (available as optional equipment at extra cost).

• Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to

replace the air exhausted by the dryer. The free area of any opening for outside air must be at least 40 in

(260 cm2).

• Energy efficient buildings with low air

infiltration rates should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the laundry room. These devices can be obtained through your building contractor or building material suppliers.

• Do not draw make-up air from a room containing

a gas fired water heater, a dry cleaner or a hair salon.

• Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void

warranty.

• Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints. DO

NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on exhause pipe joints which extend into the duct.

• Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must

be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls.

• Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer

installations.

• In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct

must be secured to mobile home structure.

• Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under

mobile home.

• Dryer exhausts 220 cfm (measured at back of

dryer).

• DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed

spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the bottom of the dryer’s front panel with laundry, rugs, etc. Blockage will decrease airflow through the dryer, thus reducing the efficiency of the dryer.

512685

Installation

Exhaust Direction

The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION:

Gas dryers cannot be vented out the left side because of the burner housing.
