•• 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, semi-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 sq. in (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 should be installed with a clearance of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and back of the dryer.

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 the Installation Test (Duct Check) on the following page.

Testing Dryer Heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the POWER 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.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the POWER 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-inch (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.

22 INSTALLATION

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.

•• This dryer features Flow Sense™, 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 in may affect the accuracy of the results.

2	Press and hold the POWER, Temp., and Signal
