_WARNING

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 dean 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, Secu re

all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these

instructions can result in fire or death.

If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter approximately two minutes.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF 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

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.
