_G_RR_NG PRONG

The following are specific requirements for

proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow

these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.

Do not install a dothes dryer with flexible

plastic venting materials. If your present system is made up

of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace itwith 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 assuitable for usewith clothes dryers and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL standard 2158A. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire, Ensure the present duct is free of

any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors some fine lint will be expelled

into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard. 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 surroundinc area.

DON'T

Incorrect

Do not allow combustible materials (for

example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be

exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire

hazard.

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number

of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can

cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, aswell as increase drying

times.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent

system, nor use any screws, rivets or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint to assemble the

exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the

screwsor rivets,clogging the duct work and creating afire hazard aswell as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood

to terminate the duct outdoors, and sealall joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with

the flow of air.

Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer

where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If

the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in

death, explosion, fire or burns.

INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION

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:

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

2. Setthe 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 MUSTNOTbe higher than 0.75 inches of water column. If the system back pressure isless than 0.75 inches of water column, the systemisacceptable. If the manometer reading ishigher than 0.75 inches 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:

• Onlythe rigid metal duct work should be used. Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust systemto down drafts causing an increasein vent restriction. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint. Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause

an increase in vent restriction.

Theexhaust 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.

EXHAUST DIRECTION

All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting. However

on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left sideof the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers, exhausting can be to the right sideof the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available

through your parts distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
