IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
■ Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■ Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch re. To reduce the risk of re due to contaminated loads, the nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period).
WARNING: Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
■ Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
■ Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
■ Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
■ That adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back ow of gasses into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open res.
■ Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
■ Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
■ Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
■ That exhaust air must not be discharged into a ue which used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas other fuel.
■ That the appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
■ If the power supply cord damaged, it must replaced by manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
■ Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any servicing unless specically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
■ Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
■ Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
■ Clean lint screen before or after each load.
■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
■ The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualied service personnel.
■ See installation instructions for grounding requirements.

Venting Requirements
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS. IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney,
wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment­grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dryer: if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
4"
(102 mm)
4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent
■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may be used.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if it is accessible to
clean)
■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.
■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airow and poor performance.
■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.
■ The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and, if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.

Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.
■ Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance
■ Use the “Vent System Chart” below to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied in the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.
The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance.
