VENTING THE DRYER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
CHECK YOUR EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR PROBLEMS
The most common cause of dryer problems Is poor exhaust venting. Before you install your new dryer, check the
items listed below to make sure you get the best possible performance. This can save you time and money by reducing
cycle times and increasing energy efficiency.
O DIRTY OR DAMAGED EXHAUST DUCTS. Lint builds up in exhaust ducts over time. This decreases the airflow and
makes the dryer work harder. Visually inspect your ducts from both ends and have them cleaned if they have not
been cleaned recently.
0 WRONG VENT MATERIAL. Check your vent to make sure it is rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting. If your venting is
plastic or flexible foil, have it replace before using the dryer.
0 RESTRICTED OR DAMAGED VENT HOOD. Check your vent hood outside. It must be clean and free of lint buildup.
Check the damper and make sure it opens fully and easily.
O EXESSIVELY LONG VENT. Measure the length of your exhaust system and count the elbows. Use the chart below
m
z
o
r
(7)
14 to see if your duct is too long. If it is too long, have the duct routed to another location that is within the venting
guidelines.
0 DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR FOIL VENTING. The transition duct from your dryer to the wall must be rigid or
semi-rigid metal ducting. If your old transition duct is plastic or foil, REPLACE IT with semi-rigid metal ducting.
Using the Duct Requirements Chart (beiow)
O Select the type of vent hood.
0
Select the row that matches the number of elbows in the dryer duct run.
0
Look to the right of elbow number for the maximum duct length for your installation. Duct lengths longer than shown
will result in reduced drying performance, longer dry times and increased energy consumption.
DO NOT exceed maximum length for the hood type and number of elbows used.

LEVELING THE DRYER
A WARNING
• Wear gloves during installation.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result
in injury.
• The appliances are heavy. Two or more people are
required when installing the dryer.
There is a risk of serious back injury or other injuries.
To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying
performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be
a level, solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than
m
necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

LOADING THE DRYER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both your dryer and your
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or
matches could Ignite, causing a fire. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.
Washing clothes will not completely remove oil
residues. Failure to obey this warning can result
in fire, explosion, or death.
Loading Tips
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload
the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
CHECK THE LINT FILTER BEFORE EVERY LOAD
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a
new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off
the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter
to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
See “Regular Cleaning” on page 28 for more
information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before
running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or
missing lint filter may damage the dryer and articles in
the dryer.
