• 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 signicant 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.

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
English24
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, conrm 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:
• The 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 conrm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
Installation
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.
NOTE
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.

Exhaust ducting guide
Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent ap opens and
closes freely. We recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a
regular basis.
WARNING
• To prevent re, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal exible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

performance, resulting in uneven
drying and wrinkling.
• Unless recommended on the care label,
do not dry woolens or berglass items.
• Avoid drying unwashed items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol,
gasoline, etc.
To prevent a risk of re, make sure to
clean the lint lter before or after every
load.
1. Turn off the dryer.
2. Open the door, and pull out the lint
lter (A) from inside the tumbler.
3. Remove the lint that has accumulated,
and then clean the lint lter.
4. Reinsert the lint lter, and then close
the door.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the dryer without the
lint lter in place.
• Do not use a damaged or broken lint
lter. This may reduce performance
and/or cause re.
