• 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 qualied 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 signi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 re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a 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.

When local codes allow, you can connect the dryer’s electrical supply with a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120 / 240 volts, 30-amperes with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be supported at the dryer cabinet by a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for a 4 wire receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models – Canada Only
• A 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
• All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
NOTE
In Canada, you may not convert a dryer to 208 volts.

Step-by-step installation

Make sure you have a qualied technician install the dryer. Step by step installation instructions start below.
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.
3. Install the exhaust system as instructed in the Exhaust ducting guide section.
NOTE
• To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushions from the packaging on the oor. Tip the dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its nal location, and then set the dryer upright.
• Secure room around the dryer to facilitate ducting and wiring.
STEP 2 Connect the gas line
First, read through the Gas requirements section, and follow these steps.
1. Remove the protective cap from the gas pipe.
2. Apply a LPG (Liqueed Petroleum Gas)-safe compound or 1.5 wraps of Teon tape to
all threaded connections.
3. Connect the gas supply to the dryer. An additional tting is required to connect
the 3/4” (1.9 cm) female thread end of a exible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer. Tighten up the tting 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 ame to check for gas leaks.

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.

STEP 5 Level the dryer
To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.
Installation
1. Using a level (A), check if the dryer
is level side to side and then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the leveling feet (B) at the bottom of the dryer. Then, check if the dryer is level again.
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 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.

STEP 6 Power on (Gas models)
Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation using the nal checklist in Step 7 below.
STEP 7 Final check
When installation is complete, conrm that:
• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The exhaust ductwork is connected and the joints are taped.
• You have used rigid or stiff-walled exible metal duct material, not plastic exible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
For gas models:
• Gas is supplied properly with no leaks.
CAUTION
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 conrm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.
The Vent Blockage Test must run with the dryer in a cool state. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.
