WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
re, or electrical shock.
■ 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply
is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

It is also recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
dryer be provided.
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 qualied 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 qualied electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualied person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water
column.
Examples of a qualied person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.

■ 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 following Vent system chart to determine type of vent

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. To avoid damaging the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard
from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back
edge of the dryer.
2. F
irmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console panel).
Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard. See illustration.
3. Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

“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.
4. Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish
turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.
5. Place a carton corner post from dryer packaging under each of
the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on
the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough
room to connect the exhaust vent or gas line.
For mobile home use
Gas dryers must be securely fastened to the floor.
Mobile home installations require a Mobile Home Installation Kit.

12. If you live in a har
d water area, use of a water softener is
recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water
system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog
different parts of the water system, which will reduce product
performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for
certain part replacement or repair.
13. Test dryer operation by selecting a Timed Dry heated cycle and
starting the dryer. For this test, do not select the Air Only modifier.

door and feel for heat. If you feel heat, cancel cycle and close
door. If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and check that the
gas supply line shutoff valve is open.
■ If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then
repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above.
■ If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a

Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the
estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the
dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle is running, the display
shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle
and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the
load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
■ To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as
tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.
This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
