DRYER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These
words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING “Risk of Fire”
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal (foil
type) duct. If flexible metal duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the
appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials
are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct
clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
Save these instructions.

DRYER MAINTENANCE AND
CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the
airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of
laundry in front of the dryer.
Cleaning the Dryer Interior
To clean dryer drum:
1. Use nonflammable cleaner or a mild hand dish detergent
mixed at a low concentration with very warm water, and rub
with a soft cloth.
n Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
n Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum.
OR
2. Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean
the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue
jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the rear of the
dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will
not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out
to avoid transfer of dye.
Removing Accumulated Lint
From inside the dryer cabinet:
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified appliance
service or ventilation system cleaner.
From the exhaust vent:
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning:
The lint screen may be located either in the door opening or the
top of the dryer depending on model. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Remove the lint screen. If necessary, press the tab to release
and open the lint screen. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
n If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
n Clean space where lint screen is located, as needed. Using a
vacuum, gently remove any lint that has accumulated outside
of the lint screen.
As-needed cleaning:
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen
is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6
months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
6
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub
lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen
in dryer.
Changing the Drum Light (on some
models)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the back
wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver or 1/4"
(6.35 mm) nut driver or socket wrench, remove the screw
located in the lower right-hand corner of the cover. Remove
the cover.
3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a 10 W
appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and secure with the
screw.
4. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.
Accessories and replacement parts are available for your model.
For ordering and contact information, please reference your Quick
Start Guide.
Check Your Vent System for Good
Airflow
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
fire.
Good Airflow
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently dry
laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve
your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good
airflow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting
installation will reduce air flow and dryer performance.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the
warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who
installed the dryer. To clean or repair venting, contact a venting
specialist.
Maintain Good Airflow
n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter
heavy, rigid vent material.
n Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend
and curve reduces airflow.
n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least
every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow
the Installation Instructions for final product check.
n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
Nonuse, Storage, and Moving Care
Nonuse or Storage Care
If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended
period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.
7
Moving Care
For power supply cord-connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet. Disconnect the
water inlet hose from faucet; then drain the hose. Transport
hose separately.
3. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
4. Use tape to secure dryer door.

Venting Requirements
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Dryer
exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent, chimney, wall,
ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space of a building. Only
rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.
n Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may
be used.
n Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
n Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):
n Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
n Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airflow and poor performance.
n Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
n The total length should not exceed 7 3/4 ft. (2.4 m).
n The length of flexible metal vent used must be included in the
overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent System
Chart.”
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or
flexible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and, if
necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
Exhaust hoods:
n An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
insects from entering the home.
n Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that
may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes, or
snow).
n Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
Recommended Styles: Acceptable Style:
Louvered Hood
Box Hood
Angled Hood
Elbows:
n 45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
Clamps:
n Use clamps to seal all joints.
n Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or
other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct and
catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
Vent products can be purchased from your dealer. For contact and
ordering information, refer to your Quick Start Guide.

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Cover unused exhaust holes with a manufacturers
exhaust cover kit.
Contact your local dealer.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, electrical shock, or serious injury.
Some models can be converted to exhaust out the right side, left
side, or through the bottom. If you prefer, you may contact your
local dealer to have the dryer converted.
A. Standard rear offset exhaust installation
B. Left- or right-side exhaust installation (available only on
select 27"-wide models).
C. Bottom exhaust installation (available only on select 27"-
wide models).
Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
NOTE: The following kits for close-clearance alternate
installations are available for purchase. Refer to Quick Start Guide
for contact information.
Over-The-Top installation
(also available with one offset
elbow)
Periscope installation
Special provisions for mobile home installations:
Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home and must not terminate beneath the
mobile home. Terminate exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
n Select route that will provide
straightest and most direct path
outdoors.
n Plan installation to use fewest
number of elbows and turns.
n When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as
possible.
n Bend vent gradually to avoid
kinking.
n Use as few 90° turns as
possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
n Use following “Vent System Chart” to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in
“Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
n Shorten life of dryer.
n Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.

3 Rigid metal 130 ft. (39.6 m)
4 Rigid metal 120 ft. (36.6 m)
5 Rigid metal 110 ft. (33.5 m)
To determine if your model has a long vent system, refer to the
type code located on the serial number plate in the inner door
well. Example: A Long Vent Model would be BJAV-NAT-
XXXXXXX-XXX or BWFB-NAT-XXXXXXX-XXX.
19
NOTE: For long vent systems, use of box/louvered hoods will
improve venting regardless of length.
Additional Elbows
In cases in which the Installation Instructions do not address the
vent length for the specific number of elbows required for a
particular application, the following calculations may be used.
(The total vent system length includes all straight and curved
portions of the vent system):
n For 90° elbows, reduce the allowable vent system length by
10 Ft. (3.05 m).
n For 45° elbows, reduce the allowable vent system length by
6 Ft. (1.83 m).
For example, if the Installation Instructions state that a dryer is
allowed 40 Ft. (12.2 m) of total vent length with two 90° bends, the
total allowable vent length would be reduced by 10 Ft. (3.0 m)
(from 40 Ft [12.2 m] to 30 Ft. [9.1m]).
Install Vent System
1. Install exhaust hood
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.
Connect Inlet Hoses
For vented, non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.”
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the
new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on
the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear,
or leaks are found.
1. Turn cold water off, remove and replace rubber
washer
Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with
new rubber washer.
2. Attach short hose and “Y” connector
Attach 2 ft. (0.6 m) inlet hose to cold water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet. Then attach “Y”
connector to male end of the 2 ft. (0.6 m) inlet hose. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.
3. Tighten couplings
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with additional two-thirds
turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
20
4. Attach long hose to “Y” connector and tighten
couplings
Attach one of the 5 ft. (1.5 m) inlet hose ends to the “Y”
connector. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other side of “Y”
connector. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on
connector. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
5. Attach long hose to dryer fill valve and tighten
coupling
If applicable, remove protective cap from water inlet valve.
Attach other end of long hose to fill valve on dryer back panel.
