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.

WARNING

_What to do if you smell gas:

WARNING

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

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

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

it,,

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

WARNING

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. Ifthis 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.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

• 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 lint accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

Ifa 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. 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 duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer

operation.

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

may 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.

Ifexhaust 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.

Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before

cleaning. Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely. Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then

check ducting for obstructions.

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 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 kinked 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.

With a level, check your dryer and make necessary adjustments to the leveling legs.

At this time, make sure all gas connections (on gas models), exhaust and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer, and check operation by using the checklist below.

(GAS MODELS ONLY- DV448AG*, DV438AG*) 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. Ifthe 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. Inorder to confirm gas ignition,

check the exhaust for heat.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

[] Dryer is plugged into electrical outlet and is properly grounded. [] Exhaust ductwork is hooked up and joints are taped.

[] Plastic flexible duct is NOT used. [] Used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal vent material. [] Dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor.

[] Gas models - gas is turned on with no gas leaks. [] Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.
