	• 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	Safety
	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	information
	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.

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.

NOTE

All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle. In Canada, you may convert a dryer to

120 / 208 volts.

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 36.

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.

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.

STEP  4  Connect the water hose

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.
