IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING; To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuryto 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 fire.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
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 dis-
carded, remove the door to the drying compart-
ment.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
• 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 specifically recom-
mended in this Use and Care Guide or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.

static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.

CHECKING
YOURVENT
Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve
maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the
minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your
Installation Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more
information.
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use s metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or
straight out the back of the dryer. Space requirements are
listed in your Installation Instructions.
4. Use the straightest path possible when routing the exhaust
vent. Use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Allow
room when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent
gradually to avondkmkmg.
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws to secure
vent. Lint may catch on screws.
If the dryer is not properly instaUed and vented, it will not be
covered under the warranty.
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for
by the customer, whether itwas a paid installation or self-
installed.
1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm)
metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible
metal vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate
exhaust airto flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to your
Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of
vent.
2. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase
drying times.
(10_ cm)
6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at
least every 2 years, or when instarling your dryer in a new
location.
• Disconnect vent from the dryer and clean one section at a
time until you reach the exhaust hoed.
To clean out lint, use the hose attachment on your
vacuum, or a pole or wire with a feather duster or rag
attached.
• Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent moves
freely.
• When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final
product check.
