A clothes dryer produces combustible _intand must be exhausted
outdoors° Take care to prevent the accumulation of Hnt around the
exhaust opening and in the surrounding area°
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury,
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
Do not place items in a tumble dryer that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spot cleaned with flammable fiquids or solids. They are a fire or explosion hazard, H@Ny
flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured
a£ohoL gasdine, kerosene, some brands of spot removers and dry cleaning sob/ants, turpentine,
waxes, wax removers, vegetable oil, fish off, massage oil, and cooking off,
Do not _eave hot of-affected items in a pile or stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and
can create a fire hazard. OiJ...affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as a tumble dryer, The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction in
the oil This oxidation creates heat. ff the heat cannot escape the items can become hot enough
to catch fire.
Do not use heat to dry items containing rubber, foam rubber, plasdc or similar materials, (such
as padded bras, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows etc), as these materials
might melt or burn. Some rubber materials when heated can under certain drcumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion. D#tyonly on the FLUFFcydeo
Unless specifically recommended by their manufacturer, do not use fabric softeners or similar
products in a tumble dryer,
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable gases and flquids near this or any other
applianceo
Keep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etco
Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper materials, p_astics or plastic
containers, etc) next to the d#iyer,
Clean the tint filter each time you use the dryer, before or after each toado
Safety and warnings
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside. Carefully follow the venting details in the
'Installation instructions_
Keep the floor around your dryer dean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping°
If your dryer is running and you want to unload or add dothes, open the dryer dooro
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
Close supervL_ion is necessary if this dryer is used near children. Do not aNow children to p_ay
inside, around or with this dryer or any other appliance.
Never climb on, climb into, or stand on the dryer top or drum.
Undergarments that contain metM reinforcements shouM not be placed direcdy in the dryer
Damage to the dryer can result ff the metal reinforcements come _oose during drying, ff you wish
to dry these items use a drying rack (available as an optional accessory refer to page 7).
The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be deaned periodically by qualified service
personnel
When discarding or storing old clothes dryer, remove the door.
Your dryer has been made to the highest standards. Years of development and rigorous testing

To the installe_
The correct installation of the dryer is your responsibility.
Be sure you read the following instructions carefully before you start to install the dryer. These
instructions should be left with the home owner for future reference.
It is your responsibiJity to:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in
garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Adhere to these installation instructions.
Allow for spacing requirements with side by side installations (refer page 9).
Make sure you have all items necessary for correct installation.
Properly install the dryer.
Contact a qualified installer as appropriate to ensure that the electrical and gas installation
meets all national and local codes and ordinances (refer to page 4).

Failure to do socan result in death, explosion, fire, or burns,
The dryer must be installed or stored in an area which is not exposed to water or weather.
It is extremely important that the dryer is installed in a well ventilated location. This dryer must
exhaust air outdoors. Do not install the dryer in any room or closet which does not permit the
free flow of replacement air.
Allow sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust. The air intake is at the rear of the dryer.
Ensure that there is a sufficient air passage on each side of the dryer for intake air.
The area in which the dryer is located must be
kept dear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
A dryer produces combustible lint so the area
around the dryer must be cleaned regularly to
keep it free of lint.

nsta ation instructions
To reduce condensation, insulate any ducting which passes through unheated areas.
Slope the duct gently downwards to the hood, to drain condensation and reduce lint build up.
Avoid sag or loops in the duct as they may collect and store water and accumuhte lint.
Before using an existing exhaust duct system for a dryer ensure that:
No plastic or other potentially combustible duct or flexible metal foil ducting has been used.
The duct is not pierced, kinked or crushed.
The duct does not exceed the maximum recommended length for the new dryer.
The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely and with sufficient movement.
Static pressure in the exhaust ducting does not exceed 250Pa (1 inch of water column), or is not
less than 0 inches of water column (ie negative pressure), when measured with a manometer in
the first 150 mm (6") of the duct, with the dryer running on FLUFF(NO HEAT)setting.
The exhaust duct system meets all relevant local, state, province and national codes.
All ducting should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to remove accumulated lint.
Frequently check that the damper on the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and
shuts freely.

Installation instructions
Choose a route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan the
installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
When using elbows (rigid duct) or making turns (thick wall flexible metal duct), allow as much
room as possible. With thick wall flexible metal duct bend duct gradually to avoid kinking and
avoid 90" turns.
