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.

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 flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a sti 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 aect dryer
operation.
• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, aect 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 fire hazard from lint expelled by the dryer.

If the new dryer is being 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.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept
for future reference.
Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suocating.
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.

INSTALLATION - GENERAL PROCEDURE
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 side-
by-side so you have easy access to both appliances.
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 19. 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.
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 on the next page

installing your dryer
U.S. MODELS:
Risk Of Electric Shock
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.
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
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 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.
If you have a dryer and washer
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.
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 the next page.
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 o 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.

CLEAN THE LINT FILTER
• After or before each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy eciently.
Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter in place.
LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY
• Place only one washload in your dryer at a time.
• In mixed loads, heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry dierently. This may result in lightweight fabrics
being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.
• Add one or more additional similar items to your dryer when you are drying only one or two items. This
improves the tumbling action and drying eciency.
• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some
fabrics.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover products.
Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.
TUMBLER
Remove any stains from the tumbler caused by crayon, ink, fabric dye (from new items such as towels or
jeans) and so on with an all-purpose cleaner.
Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stain or cleaning substance.
Once these steps are followed, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.
POWDER COATED TUMBLER
To clean the powder coated tumbler, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable easily
marred surfaces.
Remove cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.
DRYER EXTERIOR
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Protect the surface from sharp objects.
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer. They can scratch or damage the
top cover of the dryer. Keep these items in the separately purchased pedestal or in a separate storage box.
The entire dryer has a high-gloss finish. Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.
DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM
Inspect and clean the dryer exhaust system yearly to maintain optimum performance.
The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.
