This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils.
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 fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire 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..

Location considerations
Locate the dryer 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 rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the right or the left (electric model only), use the accessory exhaust kit (sold separately). Instructions are included with the kit. It’s important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow obstruction.
On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air for combustion and proper dryer operation.
Do not install or store the dryer in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Keep the dryer area 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 installation
Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: 2” in front, 17” on top, 1” on either side, and 5” in the back.
The closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in² with 3” minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A louvered door with equivalent space clearance is acceptable.
WARNING
ŷ You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when you install the dryer in and alcove or closet.
ŷ To reduce the risk of fire, you must exhaust the dryer to the outdoors. See "Exhausting" section.

ŷ 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.
ŷ Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
ŷ To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.
ŷ If exhaust ductwork 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.
ŷ Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
ŷ Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
ŷ Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then check ducting for obstructions.
ŷ Do not exhaust dryer into any 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 lint expelled by the dryer.
If the new dryer is being installed into an existing exhaust system, you must make sure:
ŷ The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes. ŷ That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
ŷ To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct. ŷ The duct is not kinked or crushed.
ŷ 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.

Electrical connections
Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the "Grounding" section. An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Gas models – U.S. and Canada
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required.
Electric models – U.S. only
Most U.S. dryers require a 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120 / 208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located behind the door. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
ŷ If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle. ŷ The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
When local codes allow, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
ŷ Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be supported at the dryer cabinet by a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
ŷ Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for a 4 wire receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models – Canada Only
ŷ A 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
ŷ All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
NOTE
It is not permissible to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.

Step-by-step installation
For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.
Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.
To install the dryer, follow these steps:
1.Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer sidebyside so you have easy access to both appliances.
NOTE
To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location. Set your dryer upright.
Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.
2.If you need to change the direction of the door, go to "Door reversal" on page 32. When done, return to Step 3 below.
3.Review the "Exhausting" section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct work from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped. Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
NOTE
A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the back of the dryer cabinet.
4.If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.
5.Review the "Gas requirements" section, then follow the lettered steps below.
A.Remove the pipe thread protective cap.
B.Apply pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape over all threaded connections.
The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
C.Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer.
D.Securely tighten the gas line fitting over the threads.
E.Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
F.Go to Step 6.

WARNING
For U.S. models: Risk of electrical shock
ŷ 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.
ŷ 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.
ŷ A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8” (1cm) deep well socket.
|
9. To ensure that the dryer provides |
|
optimal drying performance, it must |
A |
be level. To level the dryer, follow the |
|
lettered steps below: |
|
A. Using a leveller (A), check if the |
|
dryer is level side to side and then |
|
front to back. |
|
B. If the dryer is not level, adjust the |
|
leveling feet (B) on the bottom of the |
|
dryer until the dryer is level side to |
|
side and back to front. |
|
Turning the feet clockwise retracts |
|
the feet. Turning the feet clockwise |
|
loosens and extends them. |

|
|
|
ŷ To set the dryer to the same height as |
|
|
|
the washer, fully retract (A) the leveling |
|
|
|
feet by turning them counterclockwise, |

same height as the washer, follow the |
|
|
|
directions above to level the dryer. |
|
|
|
ŷ Adjust the leveling feet only as much as |
|
|
|
necessary to level the dryer. Extending |
|
|
|
the leveling feet more than necessary |
|
|
|
can cause the dryer to vibrate. |
10.Make sure all gas connections (on gas models) and exhaust, and electrical connections are complete.
Plug in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist on page 28.
11.For GAS MODELS ONLY: 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 confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
