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.

instructions. Failure to do so could cause bodily injuries and/orproperty
damage due to fire.

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.
