1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to complete the repair in a
safe and satisfactory manner.

2. Always Use The Correct Replacement Parts as indicated in the parts documentation. Substitutions
may defeat compliance with Safety Standards Set For Home Appliances.

3. Before servicing or moving an appliance:

• Remove power cord from the electrical outlet, trip circuit breaker to OFF position, or remove fuse.

• Turn off water supply for steam models.

• Turn off gas supply for gas dryers.

4. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.

5. Use ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE. Substitutions may defeat
compliance with Safety Standards Set For Home Appliances.

6. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or GREEN with YELLOW
STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current carrying conductors.
It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician reestablish all safety grounds prior to
completion of service. Failure to do so will create a hazard.

7. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:

• All electrical connections are correct and secure.

• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges, high temperature
components, and moving parts.

• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately spaced away from all
metal parts and panels.

• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely connected.

• All panels are properly and securely reassembled

• Gas and water supplies are turned ON if shut off prior to service.

PPrrootteecctt CChhiillddrreenn

Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked.
Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers.

Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.

Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental
entrapment.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

PPrreevveenntt FFiirree

Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning
solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do 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 fire.

To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubber­like materials, or items containing feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.

Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust
duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive
amount of lint buildup in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire.

Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and
damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished
using the drying rack.

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

Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or
back of the dryer.

Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.

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

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage
to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid
or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood
which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when
the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,
the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid
restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12
inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood
and the ground or any other obstruction.

If the present system is made up of plastic duct or
metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid
metal duct. In Canada and the United States if
metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a
specific type identified by the appliance manufac­turer as suitable for use with clothes dryers and in
the United States must also comply with the
Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL
standard 2158A. Also, ensure the present duct is
free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust
outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding area. (See Figure 2-2 & 2-3)

In installations where the exhaust system is not
described in the charts, the following method
must be used to determine if the exhaust system
is acceptable: (See Figure 2-4)

EExxhhaauusstt SSyysstteemm RReeqquuiirreemmeennttss

1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the dryer and the point the exhaust
connects to the dryer.

2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff
(cool down) and start the dryer.

3. Read the measurement on the manometer.

4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be
higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the
system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of
water column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of
water column, the system is too restrictive and
the installation is unacceptable.

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system
is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances
could affect the performance of the dryer:

1. Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.

2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose
the exhaust system to down drafts causing an
increase in vent restriction.

3. Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation and
faster accumulation of lint.

4. Compression or crimping of the exhaust
system
will cause an increase in vent restriction.

5. The exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with
normal usage. The more the dryer is used,
the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.

EExxhhaauusstt DDiirreeccttiioonn

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by
installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly
to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are
available through your local parts distributor or
hardware store. (See Figure 2-5)

MMaannuuffaaccttuurreedd oorr MMoobbiillee HHoommee IInnssttaallllaattiioonn

1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction & Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly
the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part

280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.

2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors,
not beneath the mobile home) using metal
ducting that will not support combustion.
Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal
duct is preferred.

3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area
beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the
exhaust system MUST terminate outside the
enclosure with the termination securely
fastened to the mobile home structure.

4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for
other important exhaust venting system
requirements.

5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile
home, a provision must be made for outside
make up air. This provision is to be not less
than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2)
dryer mounted on pedestal to the floor with
approved Mobile Home Installation Kit.

1.

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

1.

The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of
a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of
least resistance for electrical current.

2. Since your dryer is equipped with a power
supply 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. If in doubt, call a licensed
electrician.

DDOO NNOOTT

modify the plug provided with the

appliance.

GGaass DDrryyeerr

1. The dryer is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle.

dryer. Use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to

0.96 cm) reducer for the connection. Apply an
approved thread sealer that is resistant to the
corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe
connections. (See Figure 2-12)

3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to
allow gas to flow through the pipe. Wait a few
minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

4. Check for gas system leaks with a manometer.
If a manometer is not available, test all
connections by brushing on a soapy water
solution.
