WARNING
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
w
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long
sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property
damage, injury to persons, or death.
Exhaust/Ducting:
Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted
to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large
amounts of moisture will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of
the home can create a health and fire hazard.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch
diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for
exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other
combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured
ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes
otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The
end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent
backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure
to clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended
for use between the dryer and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a
connection with the above recommendations, a UL-
listed flexible metal transition duct may be used
between the dryer and wall connection only. The
use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure
all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow
the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
w
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the ground prong from the power cord. To prevent
injury to persons or damage to the dryer, the electrical
power cord must be plugged into a properly grounded
outlet.
For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded. Failure to do so can result in electric shock
or injury.
Refer to the installation instructions in this manual
for specific electrical requirements for your model.
Failure to follow these instructions can create an
electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.
This dryer must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. Electric shock can result if the
dryer is not properly grounded. Have the wall
outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions can create an
electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.
The dryer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides
sparkling performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged,
resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. The power cord can
melt, creating an electric shock and/or fire hazard.
When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not
to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This will
prevent injury and prevent damage to the dryer from
fire and electric shock.

WARNING
Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer! It is important that
you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical
connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off
at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in
an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not
permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building
inspector.
Clearances
Installation Spacing For Recessed Area Or Closet Installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing of
1 inches(2.54cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following
reasons:
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A
gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
See Venting the dryer.
A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.
(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting
electric dryers.
A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200
lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door
and floor moldings.
Additional spacing should be considered on all sides
of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum
ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the
door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent
ventilation openings are acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
NOTE
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm),
install the Extended Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not
operate correctly if dryer is not level.
For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a
pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.
NOTE
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one to the other. Too much vibration, it could cause them to make noise or touch each other
causing paint damage and making even more noise.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure
to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or
death.
For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
The power cord of this dryer is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with
a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance. Failure to follow this warning
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
This dryer must be plugged into a 60 Hz, 120 VAC,
grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse
or circuit breaker. Failure to follow this warning can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Gas supply requirements:
As shipped from the factory, this dryer is
configured for use with natural gas. It can be
converted for use with LP (Liquefied Propane) gas.
Gas pressure must not exceed 13 inches of water
column.
A qualified service or gas company technician must
connect the dryer to the gas service.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Supply line requirements:
Your laundry room must have a rigid gas
supply line to your dryer. In the United States,
an individual manual shutoff valve MUST be
installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer,
in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA
B149.1. A
1
⁄₈ - inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, death.
If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be ½
- inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and
ordinances and when acceptable to your gas
supplier,
3
⁄₈ - inch approved tubing may be used
where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger
tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft.
(6.1 m). Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or
death.
Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on
the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire,
