Prevent re
DO NOT wash or dry items that have
been previously cleaned in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning
solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes,
etc. DO NOT store these items on or
near the washer. These substances
give o vapors or chemical reactions
that could ignite or explode.
DO NOT put oily or greasy rags or
clothing on top of the laundry center.
These substances give o vapors that
could ignite the materials.
DO NOT add gasoline, cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give o
vapors that could ignite or explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot water
system that has not been used for 2
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period,
turn on all hot water faucets and let
the water flow from each for several
minutes BEFORE using the washer.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is
flammable; DO NOT smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regarding
flammability and other hazards.
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. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of
a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down period). 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 containing rubber,
plastic or similar materials such as
bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs,
baby pants, plastic bags, and pillows
that may melt or burn. Some rubber
materials, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
Clean the lint filter before or after
each load. The interior of the dryer,
lint filter housing, and exhaust duct
should be cleaned approximately
every 18 months by a qualified
service professional. An excessive
amount of lint build-up in these areas
could result in inecient drying and
possible fire.
See Care and Cleaning
.
DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint
filter is blocked, damaged or missing.
Fire hazard, overheating, and damage
to fabrics can occur.
DO NOT operate the appliance in the
presence of explosive fumes.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of
ventilating air. DO NOT stack or place
laundry or throw rugs against the front
or back of the dryer.
DO NOT spray any type of aerosol
into, on or near dryer at any time.
DO NOT use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
DO NOT continue to use the laundry
center if you hear squeaking,
grinding, rubbing or other unusual
noises. This could be a sign of
mechanical breakdown and lead
to fire or serious injury. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
Failure to comply with these
warnings could result in fire,
explosion, serious bodily injury, and/
or damage to the rubber or plastic
parts of the laundry center.

new dryer, inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation of
lint around the outdoor exhaust opening
and in the surrounding area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted
outdoors. DO NOT exhaust dryer into
a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of
a building. A clothes dryer produces
combustible lint. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will
be expelled into the laundry area. An
accumulation of lint in any area of the
home can create a health and fire hazard.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/
curtains, paper) to come in contact
with exhaust system. The dryer MUST
NOT be exhausted into a chimney,
a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed
space of a building which can
accumulate lint, resulting in a fire
hazard.
DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of
the vent system, or use any screws,
rivets or other fasteners that extend
into the duct to assemble the exhaust
system. No screen, grate, or guard
of any mesh
size is allowed to cover
the exhaust opening.
Lint can become caught
in the screen, grate,
guard, or on the screws or
rivets, clogging the duct work
and creating a fire hazard as well
as increasing drying times. Use an
approved vent hood to terminate
the duct outdoors, and seal all
joints with metal foil tape. All male
duct pipe fittings MUST be installed
downstream with the flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Never exceed more than 3-90˚
elbows in the exhaust duct system.
Exceeding the length of duct pipe
or number of elbows allowed in the
“MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can cause
an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could
create a fire hazard, as well as increase
drying times.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings
exactly could result in serious injury,
death, or property damage.
DO NOT install a booster fan in the
exhaust duct.
Install ALL clothes dryers in accordance
with the installation instructions in this
manual.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install flexible plastic or
flexible foil venting material.
If installing semi-rigid venting, DO
NOT exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
14
In installations where the exhaust
system is not described in the charts,
the following method must be used
to determine if the exhaust system is
acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital
manometer between the dryer and the
point the
exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to
air flu (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the
manometer.
4. The system backpressure MUST NOT
be higher than 0.6 inches of water
column. If the system back pressure
is less than 0.6 inches of water
column, the system is acceptable.
If the manometer reading is higher
than 0.6 inches of water column,
the system is too restrictive and the
installation is unacceptable.
Correct Incorrect
Install male fittings in correct direction:
Although vertical orientation of the
exhaust system is acceptable, certain
extenuating circumstances could aect
the performance of the dryer:
Only rigid metal duct work should be
used.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings
exactly could result in serious injury,
death, or property damage.
DO NOT install a booster fan in dryer
exhaust duct.
Install all clothes dryers in
accordance with the installation
instructions in this manual.
Venting vertically through a roof may
expose the exhaust system to down
drafts causing an increase in vent
restriction.
Running the exhaust system
through an uninsulated area may
cause condensation and faster
accumulation of lint.
Compression or crimping of the
exhaust system will cause an increase
in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be
inspected and cleaned a minimum of
every 18 months with normal usage.
The more the dryer is used, the more
often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper
operation.
Rear flush exhaust requirements
The laundry center may be exhausted four
(4) ways with rear flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4
inch diameter [102 mm] rigid duct and
1 elbow down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch
diameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow
down and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch

INSTALLATION
The following are specific requirements
for proper and safe electrical installation
of your dryer. Failure to follow these
instructions can create electrical shock
and/or a fire hazard
Connecting the electrical
system
Grounding the electric dryer (USA)
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3-wire
or 4-wire power supply cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug that matches
you wiring system, the plug MUST be
plugged into an appropriate, copper
wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. If
in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you’ve
installed on this appliance. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dryer:
The dryer MUST be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This appliance MUST be properly
grounded. Electrical shock can result
if the dryer is not properly grounded.
Follow the instructions in this manual
for proper grounding.
DO NOT use an extension cord with
this dryer. Some extension cords
are not designed to withstand the
amounts of electrical current this
dryer utilizes and can melt, creating
electrical shock and/or fire hazard.
Locate the dryer within reach of the
receptacle for the length power cord
to be purchased, allowing some slack
in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation
requirements in this manual for the
proper power cord to be purchased.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
A U.L.-approved strain relief must
be installed onto power cord. If the
strain relief is not attached, the cord
can be pulled out of the dryer and
can be cut by any movement of the
cord, resulting in electrical shock.
DO NOT use an aluminum wired
receptacle with a copper wired
power cord and plug (or vice versa).
A chemical reaction occurs between
copper and aluminum and can cause
electrical shorts. The proper wiring and
receptacle is a copper wired power
cord with a copper wired receptacle.
NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power
supply will have longer drying times
than dryers operating on 240 volt
power supply.
NOTE
The electric dryer has been designed
and certified to operate at both
240V and 208V. Drying times on a
208V power supply will, however, be
approximately 20% longer than drying
times on a 240V power supply. This
is normal and expected behavior and
applies to all drying cycles.
NOTE
A 120/208 volt, single phase 60Hz,
Alternatintg Current supply may be
used on dryers marked for use on
rating plate.
WARNING
Improper grounding of the laundry
center may cause serious injury or
death. Check with a licensed electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
20
