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

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

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 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 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.
25
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
FLOW CHECK (DUCT CONDiTiON TEST)
Your dryer features FlowSense TM, 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: When the dryer is first installed, this test
should be performed to alert you to any existing
problems with the exhaust duct in your home.
However, since the test performed during normal
operation provides more accurate information on
the condition of the exhaust duct than does the
installation test, the number of bars displayed during
the two tests may not be the same.
To activate the flow check (Duct condition test) :
NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before
proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test
below:
O Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and
TEMR CONTROL buttons at the same time.
While holding these buttons, press POWER
ON/OFR
O The dryer will show InS in the number display
to indicate that it is in duct condition testing
mode.
O
Press START/PAUSE. The dryer
will run for approximately 2
minutes to test for blockages
or restrictions to air flow in the
ductwork.
If "YES" is shown in the display,
the ductwork is free from
blockages or restrictions.
If "no" is shown in the display, the
dryer ductwork has a blockage
that needs to be removed
immediately.
iMPORTANT: Do NOT interrrupt the test cycle!
Correct Venting
Restricted or Blocked Airflow
Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows
or bends.
Check for blockages and lint buildup.
Make sure the ductwork is not crushed
or restricted.

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.
