WARNING - Risk of Fire
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualifi ed installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with fl exible plastic venting materials. If fl exible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specifi c type identifi ed 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 airfl ow and increase the risk of fi re.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
To reduce the risk of fi re or explosion:
WARNING
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other fl ammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or fl ammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these fl ammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly fl ammable 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 fi re by spontaneous combustion.
What to do if you smell gas:
WARNING
• 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.

Ensure pockets are free from small, irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.
WARNING
coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
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 signifi cant 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 fi re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fi 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.

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 cause increased lint accumulation.
Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.
• If a fl exible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a fl exible duct
with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the fl exible metal duct is bent too sharply.
• Never install any type of fl exible 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 fl exible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airfl ow, 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
the 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 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.
• 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 fi re hazard from lint expelled by the dryer.

10. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must
be level. To level the dryer, follow the lettered steps below:
a. Using a level, 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 on the bottom of
the dryer until the washer is level side to side and back to front. Turning the feet clockwise retracts the feet. Turning the feet clockwise loosens and extends them.
To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the feet by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer.

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.
11. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models), exhaust, and electrical connections are complete. Plug
in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist on the next page.
12. For GAS MODELS ONLY- DV5471AG*, DV5451AG*:
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 confi rm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

DRYER EXHAUST TIPS
Plastic or non-metal fl exible duct presents a potential fi re hazard.
WARNING
1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air
easily.
2. Use 4” diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at
the dryer. Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.
4. Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.
Be sure the vent fl ap opens and closes freely. Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.
Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:
1. Restrict your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
2. Use a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal fl exible duct.
3. Use unnecessarily long ducts that have many
elbows.
4. Use crushed or clogged vent or ducts
