The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather. Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects. Clean lint screen before or after each load.
CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR iNSTALLATiON
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 inany area of the home can create a health and fire 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 fire if itcollapses or becomes otherwise
restricted inuse 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 in. (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 UL-
listed 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.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
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 sewice 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.
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.
25
INSTALLATIONINST UCTIONS
DUCT CONDiTiON TESTING
Your dryer features FlowSense TM, an innovative sensor system that automatically detects
blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint build-up and free
of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.
NOTE: When the dryer isfirst 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 duct condition test cycle:
NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before proceeding. (Gas dryer only)
Then perform the duct condition test below. O Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and
