DRYERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately_ fo|low instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING - "Risk of Fire"

- Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer,

- install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

- Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials, if flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance

manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct

clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions,

- Save these instructions.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the dryer. [] Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt [] Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer, any servicing unless specifically recommended in this

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to Use and Care Guide or in published user=repair instruc= a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. tions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

[] Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,

Recommended Ground Method

It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in

conformity with CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91, latest edition.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

[] For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment=grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment=grounding terminal or lead on

the dryer.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment=

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. [] The dryer vent must not be exhausted into any gas vent,

chimney, wail, ceiling, attic, crawtspace, or a concealed space of a building.

[] Use only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for

exhausting.

[] Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch. [] Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings,

or floors.

[] 4" (102 mm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used. Do

not use plastic or metal foil vent.

[] Use clamps to seat all joints. The duct shall not be assembled

with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

[] The total length of flexible metal vent shall not exceed 8 ft

(2.4 m).

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and

kinking. Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when

the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow

and poor performance. An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and

insects from entering the home or business. Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground

or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, or bushes).

If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with

lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal vent.

Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

ExhaustAir Flow A.Good B.Better

Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

Vent outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back. The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,

or straight out the back of the dryer.

Vent System Length

Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood. The

maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.

Maximum Vent Length

4" (10.2 cm) Diameter Exhaust Hoods

[] A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The

main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per

dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be

used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air

equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.

[] Back-draft Damper Kits, Part No. 3391910, are available from

your dealer and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to

keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent. Unobstructed air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side

should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.

For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see your parts distributor.

If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom or bathroom, provision must be made for enough air

for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See "Recessed Area Installation Instructions" in the

"Location Requirements" section. A 4" (10.2 cm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21Z_"(6.4 cm)

outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21Z_'' (6.4 cm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

A.Individualdryervent B.Mainvent

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and loads being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

G.Roof

The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow directed downward. If the main vent travels vertically through the

roof, rather than through the watt, install a 180° sweep elbow on the end of the vent at least 2 feet (61 cm) above the highest part

of the building. The opening in the wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (1.3 cm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent

should be centered in the opening. Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.
