When disconnecting this appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord
to avoid damage to the cord or junction
of cord and plug. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
To Minimize the Possibility of a Fire Hazard
• Exhaust Duct – See Installation Instructions. Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4” diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outside. USE OF
PLASTIC OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE. FOIL OR OTHER EASILY PUNCTURED DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT COLLAPSES OR BECOMES OTHERWISE RESTRICTED IN USE OR DURING INSTALLATION.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials (such as padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, pillows, baby pants, plastic bags, etc.) as these materials may melt or burn. Also, some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Do not store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics or plastic containers, etc.) on top of the dryer during the operation.
Garments labeled “Dry Away from Heat” (such
as life jackets containing Kapok or foam) must not be put in your dryer.
Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, paint, gasoline degreasers, dry-
cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances around your washer and/or dryer during operation.
• Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which contains flammable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room.
DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
Keep the area around and underneath your
appliances free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.
• Regularly inspect the exhaust duct to be sure it has not been crushed or otherwise restricted.
• The interior of the dryer cabinet and the exhaust duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned every 2 to 3 years, or more often if needed, by a qualified service person. (see Care & Cleaning section)
To Minimize the Possibility of Injury
• Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unloading or adding clothes,
wait until the drum has completely stopped.
Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining glass particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent dryer uses.
The laundry process can reduce the flame retardance of fabrics. To avoid such a result, the garment manufacturer’s care instructions should be followed very carefully.
Close supervision is necessary if this
appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, on, or with this appliance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of
discarded appliances and shipping or packing materials properly. Before discarding a dryer, or removing from service, remove the door of the dryer compartment.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) out of the reach of children,
preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid personal injury.
Keep the floor around your appliances clean and
dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
unplug this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter).
NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector
knob to an OFF position does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.
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 clothes load to catch fire.
If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an
automatic electric ignition and does not have a pilot light. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH A
MATCH. Burns may result from having your hand in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic ignition may turn on.
Dryer-applied Fabric Softeners or Anti-static Conditioners
You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them. We recommend
you use either a fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for those products, or try a dryer-added product for which the manufacturer gives written assurance on the package that their product can be safely used in your dryer.
Service or performance problems caused by the use of these products are the responsibility of the manufacturers of those products and are not covered under the warranty of this appliance.

EXHAUST
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. IMPORTANT: Have your dryer installed properly.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors that CANNOT be built into the dryer. These factors MUST BE supplied by the person(s) installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.
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.
This dryer comes ready for rear exhausting (see Fig. 1).
WARNINGS
• DO NOT USE NON METALLIC FLEXIBLE DUCT.
• Never use flexible duct inside the dryer.
• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, range hood, gas vent, floor or attic. The combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard or damages.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning the exhaust system at least once a year. (See Care and Cleaning Section.)
EXHAUST LENGTH
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum allowable length for both rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in the table 1 (next page). More than four 90˚ turns is not recommended.
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST HOOD or WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 300 mm (12”) above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 100 mm (4”) dampered wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow, prevention of back drafts and maintenance required to prevent clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
Separate all turns by at least 1 m (3 ft.) of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampered wall cap. If two turns must be closer than 1 m (3 ft.) deduct 3 m (10 ft.) from the maximum lengths shown in the table for each occurrence.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90˚
• One turn of 45˚ or less may be ignored.
• Two 45˚ turns should be treated as one 90˚.
• Each turn over 45˚ should be treated as one 90˚.
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the duct work with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
INSULATION
• Duct work which runs through an unheated area or is near an air conditioning duct, should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build up and be sloped down toward outdoors.
NOTE: Never install screen inside exhaust duct.
CAUTION: THE DRYER MUST EXHAUST TO THE OUTDOORS.
