IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
WARNING:
precautions, including the following:
■ Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■ 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.
■ Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
■ Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children.
■ Before the dryer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■ Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
■ Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
■ Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
■ Clean lint screen before or after each load.
■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
■ The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
■ See Installation Instructions for grounding require-
ments.

CHECKING
YOUR VENT
Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve
maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the
minimum recommended installation clearances (found in
your Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of
combustion and ventilation air. Refer to your Installation
Instructions for more information.
3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or
straight out the back of the dryer. Space requirements are
listed in your Installation Instructions.
4. Use the straightest path possible when routing the exhaust
vent. Use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Allow
room when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent
gradually to avoid kinking.
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be
covered under the warranty.
NOTE: Ser vice calls caused by improper venting will be paid for
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or selfinstalled.
1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in (10.2 cm)
metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible
metal vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate
exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your
Installation Ins tructions for proper length requirements of
vent.
2. Use a 4 in (10.2 cm) exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase
drying times.
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws to secure
vent. Lint may catch on screws.
6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new
location.
■ Disconnect vent from the dryer and clean one section at a
time until you reach the exhaust hood.
■ Use the hose attachment on your vacuum, or a pole or
wire with a feather duster or rag attached, to clean out
lint.
■ Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent moves
freely.
■ When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final
product check.
