Do not use

_ non-metallic flexible ducts.

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 result in increased accumulation of lint. Lint should be removed 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. A 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. Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible. Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws. Plastic flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect the dryer

operation. Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operations, and collect

lint.

The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and

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 the exhaust duct 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 make sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely. Check once per month, and clean at least once per year. Note: If your clothes are not getting dry, then check

the duct for obstructions. Do not exhaust the dryer into a 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 the lint expelled by the dryer.

Recommended Use only for short-run installation

English - 12

If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure:

The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes. That a flexible plastic duct is not used. To inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

The duct is not dented or crushed. The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0. This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct

connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used.The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean.

Exhausting

The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a

building. Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the

room.

• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside. Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch

lint.

The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter. The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m (7.8 ft.).

In the United States:

Use only those foiPtype flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the OutEine for Clothes DryerTransition Ducts, Subject 21S8A.

In Canada:

Use only those foiPtype flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer.

Outside the U.S and Canada:

Refer to the local codes.

WARNING

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or

closet. NEVERUSEA PLASTICOR NON-METAL FLEXIBLEDUCT.

If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal. Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of the exhaust air, heat,

and lint.

English - 13

Dryer exhaust tips

WARNING: A plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.

Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily. Use a 4"diameter rigid metal duct.Tape all joints, including at the dryer.

Never use lint-trapping screws. Keep ducts asstraight as possible.

Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer. Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely.

Load the drLjer properlLJ

Place only one washload in your dryer at a time. Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently, which may result in lightweight fabrics being

dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle. Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles of clothing need drying.

This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.

Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying aswell as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.

If you insert laundry into your dryer while it is extremely tangled immediately after your washer has

finished a wash or spin cycle, it may degrade the drying efficiency or cause the door to open. We

recommend that you untangle your laundry appropriately before inserting it.

Getting started

1. Load your dryer loosely (DO NOT overload).

2. CIosethe door.

3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load. (For detail, refer to the "Cycle overview" on next page.)

4, Press the Start/Pause button.

5. The dryer indicator light will illuminate.

6. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display. The time may fluctuate as humidity levels fluctuate in the dryer.

• When the cycle is complete,"End" will appear in the display. Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer.

The Drying, Cooling, and Wrinkle Prevent indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the

cycle.

,_ Do not place anything on top of your dryer while it is running.
