installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

• The dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or
floors.

• Use clamps to seal all joints. Exhaust vent must not be
connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices
which extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

_mproper venting can cause moisture and mintto collect
indoors, which may resumt in:

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,

wallpaper, carpets, etc.

[] Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and

kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when

the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent
to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow.

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home.

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or

flexible metal vent.

Specialprovisions for mobile home installations

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate

beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent length

1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually
to avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns when possible.

Exhaust systems longer than specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.

3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in

the Vent Length Chart.

In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid
metal or flexible metal), find the maximum length of metal vent on

the same line as the number of elbows.

Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:

• The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).

• The number of elbows used.

• Type of hood.
Recommended hood styles are shown here.

B

(10.2cm)

A. Louvered style

B.Box hood style

The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.

1. Before installing the vent system, be sure to remove the wire
exhaust guard that is located at the exhaust outlet.

2. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.

3. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

4. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See "Determine vent length." Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to

seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening
devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure

vent.

See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips

• Follow care label directions when they are available.

• If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.

• Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

Cycle and temperature tips

• Dry most loads using the Normal Dry setting (*).

• Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive
fabrics.

• Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.

Cycle Control knob

Auto Dry II
Use this cycle to dry most loads. Dryness is determined by

thermostats that react to the amount of moisture in the air
exhausted from the dryer. Moist air indicates clothes are damp.

Dry air indicates that moisture has been removed.
This cycle includes a 10 minute (approximately) cool down period

at the end of the cycle to make clothes easier to handle and
reduce wrinkling.

Dry most loads using the Normal Dry (,) setting. When the cycle
ends, check the dryness of the load.

• If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
LESS DRY the next time you dry a similar load.

• If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using the
Timed Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar load, select a
setting closer to MORE DRY.

NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to
the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. See
"Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips."

Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the

Auto Dry II cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for heavyweight and
bulky items, such as bedspreads, work clothes, and large loads
that require a long drying time. Use this cycle to get up to
105 minutes of heated drying time. The heating cycle is followed
by a 10 minute (approximately) cool down period.

Air Dry

Use the Air Dry cycle for items that require drying without heat
such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart
shows examples of items that can be dried using an air cycle.

Type of Load Minutes*

Foam rubber--pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys 20 - 30

Plastic--shower curtains, tablecloths 20 - 30

Rubber-backed rugs 40 - 50

Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon 10 - 20

*Reset time as needed to allow items to dry completely.

When using Air Dry

• Check to see that coverings are securely stitched.

• Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.

• Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.

End of Cycle Signal
Your dryer sounds a signal when a drying cycle is finished.This

signal is helpful when you are drying items that need to be
removed as soon as the dryer stops in order to prevent wrinkles.

Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the
stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is

removed.

3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.

NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will
not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside-
out to prevent dye transfer.

2. Squeeze body of lint screen lightly while pulling off the cover.

3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash
screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

4. Replace cover on lint screen body. Push the lint screen firmly
back into place and close the door.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural fibers
(polyester and cotton blends) may shed more lint than other

towels, causing your dryer's lint screen to fill up faster. Be
sure to remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying

new towels.

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your

clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off the screen.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more
frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
