Fire Hazard

, California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This oct requires the governor of California to publish o list of substances known to the

state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses

to worn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances con

cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,

formoldehgde and soot, caused primarily bg the incomplete combustion of natural gas

or LP fuels. Properlg adjusted drgers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to

these substances con be minimized further bg properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

- This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

- Use only rigid metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and use only UL approved transition ducting between the dryer and the home duct.

- DO NOTinstall o clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. Ifflexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-tgpe) duct is installed, it must be UL listed and installed in accordance

with the instructions found in "Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on pages 4-5 of this

manual. Flexible venting materials ore known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint.

These conditions will obstruct drger airflow and increase the risk of fire.

- Do not install or store this appliance in ong location where it could be exposed to water and or weather.

- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow oil installation instructions.

- Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions with the customer).

Clothes dryer installation must be performed

by aqualified installer. Install the clothes dryer according to these

instructions and in accordance with local codes.

In the state of Massachusetts: Installation must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor,

[] EXHAUST INFORMATION

AWAR I G

IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER IS 4 in

(102ram). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust longer than specified length will: , Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

, Reduce the dryer life.

• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard. The correct exhaust installation is YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY. Problems due to incorrect

installation are not covered bg the warranty.

Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil

transition duct and replace with UL listed transition duct.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLEduct length and number of bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct length for rigid metal duct isshown in the table below.

Fire Hazard

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

,This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. , We recommend that you install your dryer before

installing your washer. This will permit direct access for

easier exhaust connection.

, Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust

duct.

,Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal

(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the home exhaust duct. It must be installed in accordance

with the instructions found in "Connecting the Dryer to House Vent" on pages 4-5 of this manual.

,Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a

ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor, or in any other concealed space of a building. Theaccumulated could create a potential fire hazard

, Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with

a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease and lint could create a potential fire hazard.

, Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust

length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

, Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This

will cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire hazard.

DO NOTuse a plastic vent. DO NOTuse a metal foil vent.

No roof venting.

,Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that

extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate

lint, creating a potential fire hazard. , Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air. , Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the

exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust

system shall be inspectedand cleaned at leastonce a year.

Failureto follow these instructions can resultin death or fire.

There are multiple installation options. Select the most appropriate method for

gour installation situation.

RIGID METALTRANSITION DUCT , For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition

duct is recommended.

, Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing

and kinking.

UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(SEMI-RIGID}TRANSITION DUCT

• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (KitWXO8X10077).

• Neverinstall flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or

other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8

feet (2.4m).

Installation Instructions

• Formany applications, installing elbows atboth the dryer and the wall ishighly recommended (seeillustrations below).

Elbowsallow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking and or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(FOIL-TYPE)TRANSITIONDUCT

• Inspecial installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the housevent using a flexible metal (foil- type) duct. A UL-listed

flexible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLYininstallations where rigid metal or flexiblemetal (semi-rigid)ducting cannot be

usedANDwhere a/4" diameter can be maintained throughout the

entire length of the transition duct.

• InCanada and the UnitedStates,only the flexible metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outlinefor Clothes Dryer Transition

Duct Subject2158A" shall be used.

• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings,floors or other enclosed spaces.

•Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet (2Am).

•Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

[] CONNECTING INLET HOSES

(on some models)

To produce steam, the dryer must connect to the cold water supply. Since the washer must also connect to the cold water, (] "Y" connector is inserted to allow both inlet

hoses to make that connection at the some time. NOTE: Use the new inlet hoses provided; never

use old hoses.

1. Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the washer inlet hose from the washer fill valve connector (cold).

2. Ensure the rubber fiat washer is in place end screw the female coupling of the short hose onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

3. Attach the female end of the "Y" connector to the mole coupling of the short hose. Ensure the rubber fiat

washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
