WARNING

English - 6

Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is

necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.

Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying

compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.

Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.

Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless speciﬁcally

instructed to in the user-repair instructions and you have the understanding and skills to

carry out the procedure.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless the softener or product is

recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt.

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualiﬁed service

personnel.

This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle

that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See

installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

Ensure pockets are free from small, irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking

oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain signiﬁcant amounts of these oils.

Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous

combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to

heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction

in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become

hot enough to catch ﬁre. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat

from escaping and can create a ﬁre hazard.

All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be

dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not

eliminate, the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their

temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until

the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they

are hot.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.

• Do not use a smaller duct.

• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can cause increased lint accumulation.

Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

• If a ﬂexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a sti sheet metal wall. Do not use a ﬂexible duct

with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the ﬂexible metal duct is bent too sharply.

• Never install any type of ﬂexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• Plastic ﬂexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airﬂow, extend drying times, and aect dryer

operation.

• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, aect machine operation, and

may collect lint.

• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and

the entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.

• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and

the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.

• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house

or porch.

• If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly

down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before

cleaning.

• Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

• Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then

check ducting for obstructions.

• Do not exhaust dryer into any wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or

any other common duct or chimney. This could create a ﬁre hazard from lint expelled by the dryer.

If the new dryer is being installed into an existing exhaust system, you must

make sure:

• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

• That a ﬂexible plastic duct is not used.

• To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

• The duct is not kinked or crushed.

• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be

less than 0.

This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust

duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be

empty and the lint ﬁlter clean.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept

for future reference.

INSTALLATION - GENERAL PROCEDURE

For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualiﬁed installer.

Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.

To install the dryer, follow these steps:

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-

by-side so you have easy access to both appliances.

To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the ﬂoor. Tip your dryer on its side so it

lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its ﬁnal location. Set your dryer upright.

Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.

2. If you need to change the direction of the door, go to Door Reversal on page 19. When done, return to

Step 3 below.

3. Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct work from your

dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer. DO

NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped. Never use plastic

ﬂexible exhaust material.

A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in

place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the

back of the dryer cabinet.

4. If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.

5. Review the Gas Requirements section, then follow the lettered steps below.

a. Remove the pipe thread protective cap.

b. Apply pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teﬂon tape over all threaded connections.

The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of any liqueﬁed petroleum gas.

c. Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional ﬁtting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9 cm)

female thread end of a ﬂexible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer.

d. Securely tighten the gas line ﬁtting over the threads.

e. Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution. If bubbles

WARNING

installing your dryer

U.S. MODELS:

Risk Of Electric Shock

All U.S.models are designed for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The dryer frame is grounded to

the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or

remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If

you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal

block.

Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the

hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.

A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure

they are tight. Use a 3/8” (1cm) deep well socket.

9. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must

be level. To level the dryer, follow the lettered steps below:

a. Using a level, check if the dryer is level side to side and then front

to back.

b. If the dryer is not level, adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of

the dryer until the dryer is level side to side and back to front.

Turning the feet clockwise retracts the feet. Turning the feet

clockwise loosens and extends them.

If you have a dryer and washer

To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully

retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise,

then loosen the feet by turning them clockwise. Once

the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the

directions above to level the dryer.

Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling

feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

10. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models) and exhaust, and electrical connections are complete.

Plug in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist on the next page.

11. For GAS MODELS ONLY

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat

setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer o and wait 5

minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To conﬁrm gas ignition, check the

exhaust for heat.

DRYER EXHAUST TIPS

Plastic or non-metal ﬂexible duct presents a potential ﬁre hazard.

1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air

easily.

2. Use 4” diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at

the dryer.

Never use lint-trapping screws.

3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.

4. Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.

Be sure the vent ﬂap opens and closes freely.

Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.

Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:

1. Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.

2. Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal ﬂexible duct.

3. Using unnecessarily long ducts that have many

elbows.

4. Using crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
