- Properly ground to conform with Local Codes. Follow details in Installation Instructions.
- Locate where the temperature is above 50°F(10°C) for satisfactory opera­tion of the dryer control system. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
- Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
- Exhausting to the outside is STRONGLYRECOMMENDED to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room. Carefully follow the Exhausting Details in the Installation Instructions.
- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual.
- When disconnecting this appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord to avoid damage to the cord or junction of cord and plug. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
To Minimize the Possibility of a Fire Hazard
• Exhaust Duct - See Installation Instructions. Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4” diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outside. USE OF PLASTIC OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE AFIRE. FOILOR OTHER EASILY PUNCTURED DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE AFIRE IF IT COLLAPSES OR BECOMES OTHERWISE RESTRICTED IN USE OR DUR­ING INSTALLATION.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials (such as padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, pillows, baby pants, plastic bags, etc.) as these materials may melt or burn. Also, some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Do not store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics or plastic containers, etc.) on top of the dryer during the operation.
• Garments labeled “Dry Away from Heat” must not be put in your dryer.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, paint, gasoline degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode.
Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances
around your washer and/or dryer during operation.
• Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which contains flam­mable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes such as: acetone, dena­tured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.

Safety Instructions
• Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room. DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
• Keep the area around the exhaust opening, and around and underneath your appliances free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Regularly inspect the exhaust duct to be sure it has not been crushed or other­wise restricted.
• The interior of the dryer cabinet and the exhaust duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned every 2 to 3 years, or more often if needed, by a qual­ified service person.
To Minimize the Possibility of Injury
• Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unload­ing or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.
• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining glass particles that may be picked up by clothing during subse­quent dryer uses.
• The laundry process can reduce the flame retardance of fabrics. To avoid such a result, the garment manufacturer’s care instructions should be followed very carefully.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, on, or with this appliance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing materials properly. Before discarding a dryer, or removing for service, remove the door of the dryer compartment.
• Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid personal injury.
• Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter).
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disas­sembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.
• DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminat­ed with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a clothes load to catch fire.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXHAUST

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency.
IMPORT ANT: Have your dryer installed properly.
NOTE: The WARNINGand IMPORTANTinstructions appearing in this manual are not
meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under­stood that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors that CANNOT be built into the dryer. These factors MUSTBE supplied by the person(s) installing, maintain-
ing, or operating the dryer. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
This dryer comes ready for top exhausting.
WARNINGS
DO NOT USE NON METALLIC FLEXIBLE DUCT.
• Never use flexible duct inside the dryer.
• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, range hood, gas vent, floor or attic. The combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard or damages.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning the exhaust system at least once a year.
EXHAUST LENGTH
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLElength of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum allowable length for both rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in the table 1 (next page). More than four 90° turns is not recom­mended.
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST HOOD or WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 300 mm (12”) above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 100 mm (4”) dampered wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow, prevention of back
drafts and maintenance required to pre­vent clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
Separate all turns by at least 1m(3ft.) of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampered wall cap. If two turns must be closer than 1 m (3 ft.) deduct 3 m (10 ft.) from the maximum lengths shown in the table for each occur­rence.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90°
• One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
• Two 45° turns should be treated as one 90°.
• Each turn over 45° should be treated as one 90°.
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the duct work with fas­teners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and mois­ture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
INSULATION
• Duct work which runs through an unheated area or is near an air condi­tioning duct, should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build up and be sloped down toward outdoors.
NOTE: Never install screen inside exhaust duct.
WARNING: THE DRYER MUST EXHAUST TO THE OUTDOORS.
TO PREVENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF LINTAND MOISTURE FROM ACCU­MULA TING AND TO MAINTAIN DRY­ING EFFICIENCY, THIS MACHINE MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
