followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent
property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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 in any 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 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 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 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.

, 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.

SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRiCiTY

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this

appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
, Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the ground prong from the power
cord. To prevent personal injuryor damage to

the dryer, the electrical power cord must be

plugged into a properly grounded outlet.

, For personal safety, this dryer must be

properly grounded. Failure to do so can result
in electrical shock or injury.

, Refer to the installation instructions in this

manual for specific electrical requirements

for your model. Failure to follow these

instructions can create an electrical shock
hazard and/or a fire hazard.

• This dryer must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. Electrical shock can result if

the dryer is not properly grounded. Have the
wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded. Failure to follow these instructions

can create an electrical shock hazard and/or a
fire hazard.

• The dryer should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which

has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate. This provides the best performance

and also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull

straight out from the outlet. The power cord
can be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and

electrical shock.

• Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or otherwise

damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length

or at either end. The power cord can melt,
creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard.

• When installing or moving the dryer, be
careful not to pinch, crush, or damage

the power cord. This will prevent injury and
prevent damage to the dryer from fire and

electrical shock.

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 fire,
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 fire, explosion, or death.

Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on

the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire,
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 fire, 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 fire, explosion, or

death.

, Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas

supply line with flexible stainless steel
connectors. Failure to do so can result in fire,

explosion, or death.

, Securely tighten all gas connections. Failure

to do so can result in fire, 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 fire,
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 fire, explosion, 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/CSAOZ240 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.

INSTALLATIONINST UCTiONS

FLOW CHECK (DUCT CONDiTiON TEST)

Your dryer features FlowSense TM , 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

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.

• 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.
