WARNING --Risk of Fire

,, Clothes dryer installationmust 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.

/_To

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, wpees, and wpe 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.

/f_ What to do if you smell gas:

WARNING

Do not try to lightany 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.

,, If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. ,, Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the

gas supplier.

_ Gas Appliances:

WARNING

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer and reproductive toxicity. Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to Proposition 65 listed substances,

includingbut not limitedto, benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, substances resulting from the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Engl sh - 5

Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.

Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.

Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically instructed to in the user-repair instructions and you have the understanding and skills to

carry out the procedure. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless the softener or product is

recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt.

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service

personnel.

This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle

Do not sit on top of the dryer. Ensure pockets are free from small, irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

,6,

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 inyour 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. 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.

BASIC REQUIRMENTS

Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation

A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. See Electrical Requirements. A POWER CORD for electric dryers (except in Canada).

GAS LINES (ifinstalling a gas drye0. The gas lines must meet national and local codes. EXHAUST SYSTEM - must be rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting.

Engl sh- 7

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 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

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.
