• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous
combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation
reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.
• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.

NOTE
• To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushions from the packaging on the
oor. Tip the dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that
it is near its nal location, and then set the dryer upright.
• Secure room around the dryer to facilitate ducting and wiring.
STEP 2 Connect the gas line
First, read through the “Gas requirements” section, and follow these steps.
1. Remove the protective cap from the gas pipe.
2. Apply a LPG (Liqueed Petroleum Gas)-safe compound or 1.5 wraps of Teon tape to
all threaded connections.
3. Connect the gas supply to the dryer. An additional tting is required to connect
the 3/4” (1.9 cm) female thread end of a exible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male
threaded end on the dryer. Tighten up the tting over all threads.
4. Turn on the gas supply, and check for any leaks using a soap solution. If a leak is

WARNING
• 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.
• 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.

STEP 6 Power on (Gas models)
Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then,
plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation
using the nal checklist in Step 7 below.
STEP 7 Final Check
When installation is complete, conrm that:
• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The exhaust ductwork is connected and the joints are taped.
• You have used rigid or stiff-walled exible metal duct material, not plastic exible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
For gas models:
• Gas is supplied properly with no leaks.
CAUTION
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 conrm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
