WARNING - RISK OF FIRE

•Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

•Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

•Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

•To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION:

•Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in 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 liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.

•Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not turn on the appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch.

•Do not use any phone in your building.

•Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

•Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

•A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required.

•A POWER CORD electric dryer (except for Canada).

•GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet national and local codes.

•The EXHAUST SYSTEM must be made of rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting.

Grounding

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

Gas models

Your dryer has a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

•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.

•Never connect the ground wire to the plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Electric models

Your dryer has an optional cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, which 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.

INSTALLATION02

Location considerations

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for the rear exhaust option. To exhaust out the bottom, right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. Make sure the room in which the dryer is located has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there are no air-flow obstructions.

For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air for combustion and the proper dryer operation.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. The dryer area must be kept clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint-free.

Alcove or closet installations

WARNING

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

•No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.

Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces:

•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.

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.	INSTALLATION02
•	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 foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Ducts, Subject 2158A.

In Canada:

Use only those foil-type 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.

•NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.

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 as straight as possible.

•Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.

•Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely.

•Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.

English - 25

Load the dryer properly

•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 as well 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.Close the 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.
