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:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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,

(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.
Electrical Requirements
■ 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 A fused electrical supply is
required.
■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
Check that the fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating
of your line.
■ It is also recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
dryer be provided.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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 equipment-
grounding 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.

Install Vent System
1. Before installing the vent system, be sure to remove the wire
exhaust guard that is located at the exhaust outlet.
2. Install exhaust hood.
12" min.
(305 mm)
12" min.
(305 mm)
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
3. Connect vent to exhaust hood.
Vent must t inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location.
Use the straightest path possible. See “Determine vent path”
in “Plan Vent System.” Avoid 90º turns. Use clamps to seal
all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening
devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent,
because they can catch lint.
Install Cord Bracket and Casters
Do not move dryer into its nal location until the following steps
have been performed.
Install cord bracket
1. Remove tape from the power cord and the rear panel.
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.
