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 fine 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 flexible 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 fire. 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 flexible 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 efficiency 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.

CONNECTING GAS DRYERS

wWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Gas supply requirements:

As shipped from the factory, this dryer is configured for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP (Liquefied Propane) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 13 in. water column.

A qualified service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service.

Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply.

Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

Supply line requirements:

Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1. A 1/8-in. NPT pipe plug must

be installed. Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 1/2-in. IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3/8-in. approved tubing may be used where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m). Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer. Before tightening the connection between the gas supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until the odor of gas is detected. Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid.

Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

Use only a new AGAor CSA-certified gas supply line with flexible stainless steel connectors. Failure to do so can result in fi re,

explosion, or death.

Securely tighten all gas connections. Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

Use Teflon® tape or a pipe-joint compound that is insoluble in Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas on all pipe threads. Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer; any disassembly requires the attention and tools of an authorized and qualified service person or company. Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.

Electrical Requirements for Gas Models Only

wWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

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.

23

FLOW CHECK (DUCT CONDITION TEST)

Your dryer features FlowSenseTM , an innovative 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.

To activate the flow check (Duct condition test) :

NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test below:

1 Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and TEMP. CONTROL buttons at the same time. While holding these buttons, press POWER ON/OFF.

2 The dryer will show lnS in the number display to indicate that it is in duct condition testing mode.

3

 

 

Press START/PAUSE. The dryer

 

 

 

will run for approximately 2

 

 

 

 

 

minutes to test for blockages

 

 

 

 

 

or restrictions to air fl ow in the

 

 

 

ductwork.

If FLOW SENSE indicator light is on, the dryer ductwork has a blockage that needs to be removed immediately.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT interrrupt the test cycle!

Correct Venting

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.

Check for blockages and lint buildup.

Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.

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 Lint Filter 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.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every dry level, temperature, or option is available with every cycle.

4Select any additional cycle options, such

as CUSTOM PROGRAM, WRINKLE CARE, RACK DRY, DAMP DRY BEEP and *CHILD LOCK by pressing the button for that option.

5 Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. The display will change,

and the dryer will display the estimated (SENSOR DRY) or set time (MANUAL DRY) remaining

and start tumbling. To pause the cycle at any time, open the dryer door or press PAUSE. To resume the cycle where it was stopped, press START/PAUSE again.

NOTE: If the dryer has been stopped for more than 8 minutes, the dryer will turn off automatically.

6When the load is finished, the beeper (if set) will sound. If you have set the WRINKLE CARE option, the dryer will tumble the load periodically for up to 3 hours.

To prevent wrinkling, remove items from the dryer immediately after the end of the cycle.

7Always clean the lint filter after every cycle.

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.
