IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please Read The Following Instructions Carefully Before Starting To Install The Dryer. These Instructions Should Be Retained For Future Reference.

REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES SUCH AS DRYERS TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD SUFFOCATING.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The dryer should be located to permit adequate room in front for loading the dryer, and sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust system.

This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or left side, use the accessory exhaust kit (see Accessories). Instructions are included with the kit.

It is important to make sure the room has adequate make-up air. The area where the dryer is located must not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilating air.

On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to insure adequate air for combustion and proper operation of the dryer.

THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. ADRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE LINT. THE AREAAROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF LINT.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

• An appliance installed in a closet shall have no other fuelburning appliance installed in the same closet.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this

dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS. See EXHAUST INFORMATION

section.

• Minimum clearances between dryer cabinet and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: 2" front, 0" top, 0" either side and 2-3/8" rear.

• Closet front must have two unobstructed air openings combined total area 72 in

min., located 3 in min. from top and bottom. Louvered door with equivalent air opening is acceptable.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 {formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280), 1975} for the United States,) or CSA Standards Z240 (for Canada). When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made. An anchor bracket kit is available with instructions (see Accessories). Locate in an area that has adequate make up air. A minimum of 72 in2(183 cm2) of unobstructed opening is required. All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outside with the exhaust duct termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support combustion. The exhaust duct may not terminate beneath the mobile home. See the section on exhausting for more information.

WARNING –

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when

installed in an alcove or closet.

WARNING

EXHAUSTING

Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room.

In the United States:

• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.

• Only rigid or flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting.

In Canada:

• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.

Outside the U.S. and Canada:

• Refer to local codes.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

• Use AMinimum Of 4-inch (10.2 Cm) Diameter Rigid Aluminum Or Rigid Galvanized Steel Duct.

• Do not use smaller duct.

• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

• If flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if flexible metal duct is bent too sharp.

• Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings or other concealed spaces.

• Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE OR A CONCEALED SPACE OF A BUILDING, GAS VENT, ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

• Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation.

WARNING – plastic or nonmetal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard. NEVER USE PLASTIC OR NONMETAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.

If your existing ductwork is plastic, nonmetal or combustible, replace it with metal. Use only metal exhaust duct that will not support combustion to insure the containment of exhaust air, heat and lint.
