Important safety precautions
English
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
3. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable
oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, paint thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or
chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths. Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch fire
by itself.
4. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 that is
not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See the installation
instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
• Do not sit on top of the dryer.
• Do not dry 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.

Step-by-step installation
Make sure you have a qualified technician install the dryer. Step by step installation instructions start
below.
• Do not remove the protective film on the door before completing the product installation. If you remove
the protective film before the installation is complete, the door may get scratched or damaged during
installation.
• Make sure the installation location allows enough space for the dryer door to be fully open.
STEP 1 Install the exhaust system
1. Select a location and move the dryer to the site. For easy access, we recommend you install the dryer in
the same location as your washer.
2. To change the door direction, see “Door reversal” on page 34.
3. Install the exhaust system as instructed in the “Exhaust ducting guide” section.
CAUTION
Before installing your dryer, remove the packing in the duct.
NOTE
• To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushions from the packaging on the floor. Tip the dryer on
its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location, and then set
the dryer upright.
• Secure room around the dryer to facilitate ducting and wiring.
STEP 2 Connect the gas line (for gas models)
Before connecting the gas line, make sure you have read the “Gas requirements” section on page 20.
1. Remove the protective cap from the gas pipe.
2. Apply an LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)-safe compound or 1.5 wraps of Teflon tape to all threaded
connections.
3. Connect the gas supply to the 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. Tighten up the
fitting over all threads.
4. Turn on the gas supply, and check for any leaks using a soap solution. If a leak is found, tighten the
connections and try again. Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

Review the “Electrical requirements” section on page 21 if needed.
WARNING
• 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” (1 cm) deep well socket.
• Since january 1, 1996, the national electric code requires that new wiring (not existing) utilize a 4-wire
connection to this dryer.

STEP 4 Connect the water hose
English
The dryer must be connected to a cold water tap using the provided water hoses.
1. Close the cold water tap. If you have a washer’s cold
water hose attached to the cold water tap, unscrew
and remove the hose. Then, connect the female end
of the Y-connector to the cold water tap.
2. Connect the straight end of the water hose to the
Y-connector. Tighten the hose coupling by hand.
3. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional two-
thirds turn. Do not overtighten. You can damage the
coupling.
4. Connect the angled end of the water hose to the
filling valve at the bottom rear of the dryer. Turn the
coupling by hand until it is tight.
5. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional two-
thirds turn. Do not overtighten. You can damage the
coupling.
6. If you detached the cold water hose from your

STEP 5 Level the dryer
English
To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.
Using a level (A), check if the dryer is level side to side
and then front to back. If the dryer is not level, turn
the leveling feet (B) clockwise to lower the dryer or
counterclockwise to raise the dryer.
NOTE
• To set the dryer to the same height as your washer,
fully retract (A) the leveling feet by turning them
counterclockwise, then loosen (B) the feet by turning
them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as
the washer, follow the directions above to level the
