SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

wWarning

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, injury to persons, or death.

Exhaust/Ducting:

•Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire 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 fire hazard.

•Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch 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 fire 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 fire or death.

•The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 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 fire 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 fire 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 fire or death.

wWarning

Fire Hazard

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.

Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.

Install all clothes dryers in accordance with the installation instructions of the manufacturer of the dryer.

–Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

–Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

–Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

–Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

–The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

wWarning

Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

•For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, that a carpet must not obstruct the openings.

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 Installation Test (Duct Check) on the following page.

Testing dryer heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button 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 button 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 inches (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 four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 29

Installation Test (Duct Check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer.

This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.

•Your dryer features Flow SenseTM, 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

The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

To activate the Installation test:

1.Remove the drying rack and literature, and then close the door.

Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as it may affect the accuracy of the results.

2.Press and hold the SIGNAL ON/OFF and TEMP. CONTROL buttons and then press the POWER button. This button sequence activates the

installation test. The code will display if the activation is successful.

4.Check the display for results.

During the two minute test cycle, monitor the Flow SenseTM display on the control panel. If no bars

are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars.

Other problems may also be shown with error codes. Refer to the next page for error code details and solutions.


NO BARS:		FOUR BARS:
	OK	RESTRICTED

Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is severely restricted. Have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.

5.End of cycle.

At the end of the test cycle, will display. The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off automatically after a short delay.
