California Safe DrinkingWATER andToxic 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
wWarning
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
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 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
wWarning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
wWarning
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 injury to persons or 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 electric 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 electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 29
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 3280 or Standard CAN/CSA Z240 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 InstallationTest (Exhaust 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 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).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 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.
•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 affectthe accuracy of the results.
4.Check the display for results.
During the two minutes 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.
