DUCTING REQUIREMENTS
* Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
Do not use a smaller duct.
Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can cause increased lint accumulation.
Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.
If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct
with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
Only a rigid or flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting.
Keep the 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 CONCEALED SPACE OF
A BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A
FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.
A plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer
operation.
Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and
may collect lint.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood that has a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts
and the entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.
The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and
the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.
Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house
or porch.
If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly
down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before
cleaning.
Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
Check the duct once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting
dry, then check ducting for obstructions.

line is required.
• If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-amp receptacle.
• The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
IMPORTANT:
When local codes allow, you can connect the dryer's electrical supply with a new power supply
cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts,
30-amps with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-
end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring
must be supported at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,
(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacle, NEMA
type 14-30R.)
Electric models - Canada Only
• A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-amp fuse or circuit
breaker on both sides of the line is required.

Installation - General procedure
For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.
Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.
To install the dryer, follow these steps:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-
by-side so you have easy access to both appliances.
To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it
lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location. Set your dryer upright.
Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.
2. If you need to change the direction of the door, go to Door Reversal on page 19. When done, return
to Step 3 below.
3. Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct work from your
dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer. DO
NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped. Never use plastic
flexible exhaust material.
A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in
place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the
back of the dryer cabinet.
4. If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.
5. Review the Gas Requirements section, then follow the lettered steps below.
a. Remove the pipe thread protective cap.
b. Apply pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape to all threaded connections.
(_ The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
c. Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4" (1.9 cm)
female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8" (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer.
d. Securely tighten the gas line fitting over the threads.
e. Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution. If bubbles
appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
f. Go to Step 6 on the next page

U.S. MODELS:
IMPORTANT - All U.S. models are designed for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The dryer frame is
grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for
new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral.
If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal
block.
Refer to the following instructions for 3- and 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS:
Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole
provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.
A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are
tight. Use a 3/8" (1 cm) deep well socket.
9. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must
be level. To level the dryer, follow the lettered steps below: Level
ao Using a level, check if the dryer is level side to side and then front
to back.
bo If the dryer is not level, adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of
the dryer until the dryer is level side to side and back to front.
Turning the feet clockwise retracts the feet. Turning the feet
clockwise loosens and extends them.
[_ To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully
retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise,
then loosen the feet by turning them clockwise. Once
the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the
directions above to level the dryer.
Leveling feet
[_ djust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling
feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
10. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models), exhaust, and electrical connections are complete. Plug
in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist below.
1t. For GAS MODELS ONLY
The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat
setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5
minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the
exhaust for heat.
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
[] The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and is properly grounded.
[] The exhaust ductwork is hooked up and joints are taped.
[] You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.
[] The dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor.
[] For gas models: The gas is turned on and there are no gas leaks.
[] Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY
Place only one washload in your dryer at a time.
In mixed loads, heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently. This may result in lightweight fabrics
being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.
Add one or more additional similar items to your dryer when you are drying only one or two items.
This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some
fabrics.

CHECK THESE TROUBLESHOOTING POINTERS IF YOUR DRYER...
Doesn't run,
Doesn't heat,
Doesn't dry.
Isnoisy.
Dries unevenly.
Has an odor.
Shuts off before load is dry.
Be sure the door is latched shut.
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses.
Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle,
Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses.
On a gas dryer, see ifthe gas supply is on.
Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
See if the dryer has moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Check all of the above, plus...
Be sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected
and cleaned annually.
Use 4" rigid metal exhaust duct.
Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require
repositioning to ensure even drying.
Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water
from the load.
The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc.
Remove promptly.
It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on
and off during the drying cycle.
Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation
instruction.
It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high volume of air moving
through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be
completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected
dryness level. This is normal. Select the More Dry setting if desired.
If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel
with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely
dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter
the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer
draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and
exhausts it outside.
®
When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely
before using the dryer.
The dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and
restart the cycle.
®
The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.

Lint on clothes.
Garments still wrinkled after
Wrinkle Release.
Odors remain in clothing
after Air Fluff.
Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads
that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the
filter during the cycle.
* Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton
towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint
trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).
Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
Load fewer garments.
Load similar-type garments.
Fabrics having strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle
before you dry them.
