WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electrical shock if contacted during installation. Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized:

• Pump

• Drive Motor

• Electronic control boards

• Water valve

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 ﬁre

• 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.

• 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 inecient 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.

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.

Incorrect

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

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 three-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.

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:

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 aect the performance of the dryer:

• Only rigid metal duct work should be used.

• 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.
