4. Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline or machine oils, vegetable or cooking
oils, cleaning waxes or chemicals, dry-cleaning
solvents, thinner or other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could
ignite, explode or cause fabric to catch on fire by
itself.
5. Items that have been soiled with substances such
as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers, should be washed in hot water with an
extra amount of detergent before being dried in
the tumble dryer.
6. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics
or articles containing foam or latex rubber or
similarly textured rubberlike materials, such as
shower caps, water proof textiles, rubber-backed
articles, and clothes or pillows filled with foam
rubber pads.
7. 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.
8. 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 appliance is
not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

DON’TDO
Step 2: Connect Dryer Exhaust System
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint
collectors will cause increased static pressure.
Failure to maintain the secondary lint system will
decrease dryer efficiency and may void machine
warranty.
•DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or or type B
ducting. Rigid metal duct is recommended.
•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.
•Use of duct tape or pop-rivets on all seams and
joints is recommended, if allow by local codes.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on
exhaust pipe joints which extend into the duct
and catch lint.
•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).

Installation
•DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed
spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.
•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
2
(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.
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.
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.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust.
Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be
accomplished by installing a Directional Exhaust Kit,
528P3, available as optional equipment at extra cost.
For best drying results, recommended maximum
length of exhaust system is shown in Tab le 1.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation,
outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood
with hinged dampers (obtain locally).
