Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Only dry fabrics that have been washed with water.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials. Dry on the Air Dry cycle.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and must be
exhausted outdoors. Take care to prevent the accumulation of
lint around the exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
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 liquids or solids. They are a fire or explosion hazard. Highly
flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some brands of spot removers and dry cleaning solvents, turpentine,
waxes, wax removers, vegetable oil, fish oil, massage oil, and cooking oil.
Do not leave hot oil-affected items in a pile or stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and
can create a fire hazard. Oil-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. If the heat cannot escape the items can become hot enough
to catch fire.
Do not use heat to dry items containing rubber, foam rubber, plastic 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 circumstances produce fire
by spontaneous combustion. Dry only on the AIR DRY cycle.
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 liquids near this or any other appliance.
Keep the area around and underneath your dryer free from the accumulation of combustible
materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.
Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper materials, plastics or plastic
containers etc) next to the dryer.
Empty the lint bucket before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section. (usually once
a week).

Exhausting
WARNING
Fire Hazard
The dryer must be vented to the outdoors.
Use rigid or thick wall flexible metal exhaust duct.
Do not use a plastic exhaust duct.
Do not use a metal foil exhaust duct.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and moisture
in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.
This appliance must always be vented to the outdoors.
Exhaust ducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Plastic or metal foil flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times
and affect dryer operation.
A minimum of 4 inch (100mm) thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanised metal duct must be
used. Using ducts larger than 4 inches (100mm) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.
Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation. Thick wall flexible metal
ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the
duct and cause blockages. Do not use plastic ducting or thin wall flexible metal ducting.
Use duct tape to secure joints. Do not use screws as they collect lint.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these installation instructions.
Do not exhaust the dryer into any other duct, chimney or gas vent, a wall, a ceiling or any
concealed space in a building. Do not exhaust the dryer under a house or mobile home or a
porch, or into a window well or other area that will accumulate lint.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a
swing out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wild life.
Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper. The hood
should have at least 12 inches (305mm) clearance between the
bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The
hood opening should point down. Never install a screen over
the exhaust outlet.
12” (305mm)
15
Exhausting
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 accumulate 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 1 inch (250Pa), or is not less than 0 inches
of water column (ie. negative pressure), when measured with a manometer in the first 6 inches
of the duct, with the dryer running on Air Dry (no heat) setting.
The exhaust duct system meets all relevant local, state 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.
Mobile Home Installations
A Mobile Home Installation Kit is available (see Accessories page 9 and notes page 13).
