IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING - risk of fire
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or injury to persons when using
this laundry center, comply with the
basic warnings listed below. Failure
to comply with the Important Safety
Information and WARNINGS could result
in serious personal injuries or death.
Prevent re
• DO NOT wash or dry items that have
been previously cleaned in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning
solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes,
etc. DO NOT store these items on or
near the washer. These substances
give o vapors or chemical reactions
that could ignite or explode.
• DO NOT put oily or greasy rags or
clothing on top of the laundry center.
These substances give o vapors that
could ignite the materials.
• DO NOT add gasoline, cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give o
vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot water
system that has not been used for 2
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period,
turn on all hot water faucets and let
the water flow from each for several
minutes BEFORE using the washer.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is
flammable; DO NOT smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regarding
flammability and other hazards.
• 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 reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of
a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down period). Avoid
stopping a tumble dryer before the
end of the drying cycle unless all items
are quickly removed and spread out so
that the heat is dissipated.
5
• DO NOT dry articles containing rubber,
plastic or similar materials such as
bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs,
baby pants, plastic bags, and pillows
that may melt or burn. Some rubber
materials, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
• Clean the lint filter before or after
each load. The interior of the dryer,
lint filter housing, and exhaust duct
should be cleaned approximately
every 18 months by a qualified
service professional. An excessive
amount of lint build-up in these areas
could result in inecient drying and
possible fire.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint
filter is blocked, damaged or missing.
Fire hazard, overheating, and damage
to fabrics can occur.
WARNING
A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint. The dryer must be connected to an
outdoors exhaust. Regularly inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove
any accumulation of lint around the
opening and in the surrounding area.
• DO NOT operate the appliance in the
presence of explosive fumes.
• 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.
• DO NOT continue to use the laundry
center if you hear squeaking,
grinding, rubbing or other unusual
noises. This could be a sign of
mechanical breakdown and lead
to fire or serious injury. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
• 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 laundry center.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create
excessive drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install a clothes dryer with
flexible plastic or metal foil venting
materials. 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.
If your present system is made up of
plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it
with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also,
ensure the present duct is free of any lint
prior to installing dryer duct.

Exhaust system requirements
Duct work requirements
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter 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.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
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. Prior to installing your
new dryer, inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation of
lint around the outdoor exhaust opening
and in the surrounding area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• 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.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of
the vent system, or use any screws,
rivets or other fasteners that extend
into the duct to assemble the exhaust
system. No screen, grate, or guard
of any mesh
size is allowed to cover
the exhaust opening.
Lint can become caught
in the screen, grate,
guard, or on the screws or
rivets, clogging the duct work
and creating a fire hazard as well
as increasing drying times. Use an
approved vent hood to terminate
the duct outdoors, and seal all
joints with metal foil tape. All male
duct pipe fittings MUST be installed
downstream with the flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings
exactly could result in serious injury,
death, or property damage.
DO NOT install a booster fan in the
exhaust duct.
Install ALL clothes dryers in accordance
with the installation instructions in this
manual.
WARNING
Never exceed more than 3-90˚
elbows in the exhaust duct system.
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, as well as increase
drying times.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Failure to follow safety warnings
exactly could result in serious injury,
death, or property damage.
• DO NOT install a booster fan in dryer
exhaust duct.
• Install all clothes dryers in
accordance with the installation
instructions in this manual.
Install male fittings in correct direction:
• Venting vertically through a roof may
expose the exhaust system to down
drafts causing an increase in 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.
• 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.
Correct Incorrect
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. Set the dryer timer and temperature to
air flu (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the
manometer.
4. The system backpressure MUST NOT
be higher than 0.6 inches of water
column. If the system back pressure
is less than 0.6 inches of water
column, the system is acceptable.
If the manometer reading is higher
than 0.6 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 aect
the performance of the dryer:
• Only rigid metal duct work should be
used.
Rear flush exhaust requirements
The laundry center may be exhausted four
(4) ways with rear flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4
inch diameter [102 mm] rigid duct and
1 elbow down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch
diameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow
down and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch
diameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow
down and 1 elbow right)
