DRYER SAFETY
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.
■ This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any
other purpose.
■ WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear
the area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
■ 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.
■ 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 dry unwashed items in the dryer.
■ 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 dryer compartment.
■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■ Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.
■ Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to water and/or the weather.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
■ Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt
any servicing unless specically recommended in this
Installation Instructions 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.
■ The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left
at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
■ WARNING: Never stop 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. (Avoids risk of
spontaneous combustion).
■ 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 dryer exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualied service personnel.
■ See “Electrical Requirements” section for grounding
instructions.

GAS DRYER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
(155 cm
Location Requirements
Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or
recessed area.
This dryer is not intended for installation in a mobile home.
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to water and/or the weather. Proper installation is your
responsibility.
You will need:
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ A level oor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under
entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft oor surfaces,
such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not
recommended.
Gas dryer installation clearances
■ The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door to
be fully opened.
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
oor moldings.
■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
When installing a gas dryer:
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not
permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or
sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
■ Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back
and bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to
permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion
air. See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions”
below for minimum spacing requirements.
Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions
This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. For
recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances
can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer
or in “Dimensions/Clearances.”
The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum
allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease
of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and
ordinances.
If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air
opening in the top and bottom is required. The unobstructed
opening needs to be 1 square inch per 1,000 Btu (252 kcal)
of gas burner output. Output on North American gas dryers
is typically 22,000 Btu; however, Canadian dryers may have
lower output. Louvered doors with equivalent air openings are
acceptable.
The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same
closet as the dryer.

■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this dryer be provided.
■ This dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3-prong grounding plug.
■ To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the
properly grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
