Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:

1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer
and you should obtain the necessary venting
materials locally. For example, the outer end of

exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged
dampers to prevent back-draft when the dryer is not

in use.

2. The exhaust duct must be four 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.

EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE

Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance

^WARNING!

• Disconnect the dryer’s electric power

prior to any cleaning or maintenance.

• Failure to do so can result in fire or

electrical shock.

1. After one year of use, the interior and complete
exhaust system of the dryer should be examined
and cleaned if necessary.

2. Before one year of use, when drying perfomiance has become
unsatisfactory, please examine and clean lire exhaust duct for
better dry ing perfomiance.

3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure

the dampers are moving freely, that the dampers
are not pushed in and that nothing has been set
against the dampers.

4. A qualified service person or company should be

used to perform this maintenance.

5. A Hexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost,

can be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed
in hard to reach places. This Kit comes in two
pieces, one of which is attached to the dryer and
the other is attached to the wall exhaust outlet.
Following attachment of the two separate pieces
to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may be
returned to its final position, after which the two
pieces themselves can be connected,

7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care.

Wipe the exterior of the dryer as required, and
always wipe the exterior of the dryer in the event
any detergent, bleach, or other washing products
is spilled on the dryer.

8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as
necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products
may damage the finish of the control panel.

9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying
each load or after drying each load,

10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter
may increase drying times,

11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to
the vacuum duct. See item #2 above,

12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided
inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires
prior to disconnection when servicing the diyer,
because wiring errors can cause serious injury
to you and your dryer.

24

Cleaning the Lint Screen

1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load
or after drying each load. Always make sure the
lint filter is clean before starting a new load,
because a clogged lint filter may increase drying
times,

2. To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll
any lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push
the lint screen firmly back into place,

3. Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured
before running the dryer. Running the diycr with
a loose lint screen may cause overheating and
damage to the dryer and articles being dried.

4. Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than
others (towels for example), causing the lint
screen to fill rapidly. Remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying these articles, such
as new towels.

5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and
into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust
hood and remove any lint.

6. Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can
build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying
times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off
the screen. In order to prevent this type of build
up, and help ensure proper operation of your
dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush
every six months or, if necessary, more
frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as
follows:

a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your

fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or
warm water,

b) Wet a nylon

detergent
to remo,
softener
