• Donot allowchildrenonor in theappliance.Closesupervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near

children.

• Install the dryer where the temperature is above 50°F for satisfactoryoperation of the dryer control system. Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the warranty.

WARNING RISK OF FIRE

, To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all

installation instructions. Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions

and in accordance with local codes. This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the

clothes dryer to the outdoors.

DONOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be ULlisted and installed in accordance with the instructions found in Connecting The Dryer To House Vent on page 5 of this manual. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it could be exposed to water and or weather. Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions with the customer).

Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

NOTE: Installation and service of this dryer

requires basic mechanical and electrical skills. It is your responsibility to contact a qualified installer to make the electrical

connections.

UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102mm). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Usingexhaust longer than specified length will: . Increasethe drying times and the energy cost. , Reducethe dryer life. , Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

Thecorrect exhaust installation isYOUR

RESPONSIBILITY.Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.

Removeand discard existing plasticor metal foil transition duct and replacewith ULlisted transition duct. TheMAXIMUMALLOWABLEduct length and number of bends of the exhaust systemdepends upon the type of duct, number of turns,the type of exhaust hood (wallcap), and all conditions noted below.The maximum duct length for rigid metal duct isshown inthe table below.

HOOD OR WALL CAP

, Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of

birdsor other wildlife.

. Termination should present minimal resistance to the

exhaust air flow and should requirelittle or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

. Never install a screenin or overthe exhaustduct. Thiscould

cause lint build up.

, Wall caps must be installed atleast !2 in. above ground

level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed

down.

EXHAUST INFORMATION (cont)

SEALING OFJOINTS

, All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of

each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

, Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that

extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point

for lint.

, Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by

wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.

, Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors

1/4 inch per foot

INSULATION

Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.

F4-]EXHAUST CONNECTION

WARNING - TOREDUCE

THE

RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

. This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the

outdoors.

. Useonly 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 page 5 of this manual.

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

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

. Never terminate the exhaust into o common duct

with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease and lint creates o 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 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 inspected and cleaned at

least once a year.

tfrigidmetalduct cannot beused,then UL-listedflexiblemetal (semi-rigid)ducting can beused(KitWX08X!0077). Neverinstallflexiblemetalduct in walls,ceilings,floorsoroth- erenclosedspaces.

Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed8 feet

(2.4m). For many applications,installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended(seeillustrationsbelow). Elbowsallowthe dryer to sit closeto the wall without kinking and or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.

Avoidrestingthe duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(FOIL-TYPE}TRANSITIONDUCT , tn special installations, it may be necessaryto connect the

dryerto the housevent using a flexible metal (foil-type)duct.

A UL-listedflexible metal (foil-type)duct may be usedONLY

in installationswhere rigid metal or flexiblemetal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be maintainedthroughout the entirelengthof thetransitionduct.

tnCanadaand the United States,only the flexible metal (foil- type) ducts that comply with the "Outlinefor ClothesDryer TransitionDuct Subject2158A"shallbe used.

, Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings,floors or

Installation Instructions

[_ 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, a ",7"connector is inserted to allow both inlet

hoses to make that connection at the same 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 and 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 '"7" connector to the mule coupling of the short hose. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer

isin place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

4. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer's

inlet hose. If a rubber fiat washer is already in place remove it before installing the filter screen. Attach this

coupling to one male end of the '"7" connector. Tighten

by hand until firmly seated.

5. Ensure the rubber fiat washer is in place and attach the dryer's long inlet hose to the other male end of the '"7" connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

6. Ensure the rubber fiat washer is in place and attach the other end of the dryer's long inlet hose to the fill valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

[] CONNECTING INLET HOSES {cont.}

7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE:Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may result.

8. Turn the water faucet on.

9. Check for leaks around the '"7" connector, faucet and hose couplings.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUSTbe installed within 42 in.

(107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The faucets MUST

be 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUSTbe between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can

advise you of your water pressure. NOTE:Awater softener isrecommended to reduce buildup

of scale inside the steam generator if the home water supply isvery hard.
