WARNING"

[] To reduce the risk of injuryto 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.

(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.

, 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 STEAM FUNCTIONS

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 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.

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 inches (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a

clearance of 1 inch (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 inches (1.5 cm) of water column.

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.

INSTAllATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION TEST (ExhauSt 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.

measured.

NO BARS:

FOUR BARS: RESTRICTED

Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is

severely restricted. Have the system checked

immediately, as performance will be poor.

Check the display for results.

During the two minute test cycle, monitor the FIowSense 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.
