Unpacking Your Dryer
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive
tape holding the dryer accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packaging, tape or printed materials
before using the dryer.
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.
1. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up
inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted
air flow will increase drying time. If your present system is made up of plastic
duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure
present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
3. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the
“Maximum Length” chart can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase
drying times.
4. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system. Lint can become caught in
the screen, increasing drying time. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape.
5. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed downstream with the flow of air.
6. Exhaust duct must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening
devices which extend into the interior of the duct.
7. Do not allow combustible material (clothing, draperies/curtains, paper, etc.) to
come in contact with exhaust system.
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 (45.7cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, fire or burns.
WARNING
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2. The dryer must not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling
The dryer exhaust system MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors.
If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some

create a health and fire hazard.
attic, crawl or any concealed space of a building.
fine lint will be expelled into
Exhaust Requirements:
Use only 4 inch (10.2cm) diameter (minimum) rigid of flexible metal duct and
approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper hat 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 (30.5cm) clearance between the vent hood
and the ground or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move
freely, although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable. Certain
extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
1. Only rigid metal duct work should be used.
2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down
drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
3. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause
condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
4. Compression of crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in
vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 12
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.

The following sounds are normal during the operation of the dryer.
• Tumbling sound: this is normal as the heavy wet clothes in the dryer are
continuously being tossed around.
• Air rushing noise: this happens as the dryer drum spins at very high RPM and
the air is rushing through the dryer drum.
Tips
• For best drying results, clean the lint filter before or after every use.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Balance the dryer load evenly throughout the dryer for the best result.
•
Drying time depends on many variables: load size, type of fabric and
moisture in it, heat and moisture in the room, electric voltage, length of the
exhaust duct, etc.
• To eliminate guessing and to conserve energy,it is recommend for certain
clothes to dry on an auto-drying setting.
• Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Lint Filter
• Lint filter needs to be cleaned before
or after each use for your unit to
operate at optimum efficiency. The
filter can be removed by pulling on
the tabs located on the inside of the
dryer door. The filter may be washed
or vacuumed. Remove the excess
water from the filter by gently shaking the filter. This will remove dust and
particles trapped in the filter. Lint built up in screen will restrict airflows, which
causes longer drying times. After cleaning, slide the filter back in place. Do not
use your dryer without the lint filter.
• Do not use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning the interior.
• Hazardous fumes or electric shock could occur. If dryer drum becomes stained,
clean the drum with damp cloth. Remove any residue before drying next load.
• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners, as this could damage the dryer.
• Clean the duct and the vent on a regular basis to avoid clogging which could
affect the efficiency of the dryer.
