SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION (cont.)

Exhaust/Ducting:

• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in ﬁ re or death.

• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted

to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some ﬁ ne lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of

lint in any area of the home can create a health and ﬁ re hazard.

• Use only rigid metal or ﬂ exible metal 4-in.

diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a ﬁ re. Punctured ductwork can cause

a ﬁ re if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.

• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and

you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in ﬁ re or death.

• The exhaust duct must be 4 in. (10 cm) in

diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer. Failure to follow

these instructions can result in ﬁ re or death.

• Rigid or semi rigid metal ducting is

recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a ULlisted ﬂ exible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions can

result in ﬁ re or death.

• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other

fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efﬁ ciency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with

duct tape. For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in ﬁ re or death.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MANUFACTURED OR MOBILE HOMES

Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain whether your proposed installation will comply with these standards, please contact a service and installation professional for assistance.

• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the ﬂoor.

• The electrical connection for an electric dryer must be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information concerning the electrical connection is provided in the section Connecting Electric Dryers.

• To reduce the risk of combustion and ﬁre, the dryer must be vented to the outside.

• DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home or mobile home.

• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, right, or bottom panel.

• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not be vented to the outside using the right side panel because of the burner housing.

• The dryer exhaust duct must be afﬁxed securely to the manufactured or mobile home structure, and the exhaust duct must be made of a material that will resist ﬁre and combustion. It is recommended that you use a rigid or ﬂexible metal duct.

• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any other duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.

• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. The opening for outside fresh air must be at least 25 in2 (163 cm2).

• It is important that the clearance of the duct from any combustible construction be at least 2 in. (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a clearance of 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and back of the dryer.

• Please be aware that venting materials are not supplied with the dryer. You should obtain the venting materials necessary for proper installation.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests and Duct Condition Testing on the following page.

Testing Dryer Heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking Airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 in. (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

FLOW CHECK (DUCT CONDITION TEST)

Your dryer features FlowSense sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE: When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

, an innovative

To activate the ﬂ ow check (Duct condition test) :

NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before

proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test below:

Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and

TEMP. CONTROL buttons at the same time. While holding these buttons, press POWER ON/OFF.

Correct Venting

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

SORTING LOADS

Fabric Care Labels

Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care.

Grouping Similar Items

For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.

Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

LOADING THE DRYER

wWARNING: 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.

• 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 “Care and Cleaning” 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.
