		• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous
		combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
		to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation
		reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items
		can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
		may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.
		• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
		dangerous.
		Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,
		the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
		temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
		cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
		items when they are hot.

WARNING

•Improperly connecting the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical service for your dryer.

Grounding

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current.

WARNING

•Your dryer has an optional cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. This cord is sold separately.

•The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

•Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to a permanently grounded metal 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.

Electrical connections

Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the “Grounding” section. An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended.

Do not use an extension cord.

2.Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping screws.

3.To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.

Cleaning

Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.

WARNING

•To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.

•Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.

•Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.

•Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
