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 itcollapses 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.

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.
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.

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.
