DANGER:

WARNING:

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to

minimize the risk of re or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,

or loss of life.

Do not install a clothes dryer with exible plastic venting materials. If a exible metal (foil type) duct is installed,

it must be of a specic type identied 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 airow and increase the risk of re.

Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

Save these instructions.

Your safety and the safety of others is 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:

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

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.

CAUTION:

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or

moderate injury.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

This appliance 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 appliance must be

equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

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.

Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is

used near children.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate

static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the

fabric softener or product.

Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber

or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

Keep the area around the exhaust opening and

adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation

of lint, dust, and dirt.

The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be

This appliance 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. Electric shock can result if the dryer is

not properly grounded.

• Properly ground the dryer to conform with all governing

codes and ordinances. Follow details in the installation

instructions. Electric shock can result if the dryer is not

properly grounded.

• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as

described in this manual. Electric shock can result if the

dryer is not properly grounded.

• Install and store the dryer where it will not be exposed

to temperatures below freezing or exposed to

the weather.

• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an

authorized service technician unless specically

recommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only

combustible ductwork can cause a re. Punctured

ductwork can cause a re 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

WARNING:

vENTING THE DRYER

CHECK YOUR EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR PROBLEMS

IMPORTANT!

The most common cause of dryer problems is poor

exhaust venting. Before installing your new dryer,

check the items listed below to make sure you get the

best possible performance. This can save you time and

money by reducing cycle times and increasing energy



• DIRTY OR DAMAGED EXHAUST DUCTS. Lint builds

up in exhaust ducts over time. This decreases the



inspect your ducts from both ends and have them

cleaned if they have not been cleaned recently.

• WRONG vENT MATERIAL. Check your vent to make

sure it is rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting. If your



before using the dryer.

NOTE: Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. Using more than four 90° elbows is not recommended.

• RESTRICTED OR DAMAGED vENT HOOD. Check

your vent hood outside. It must be clean and free of lint

buildup. Check the damper and make sure it opens fully

and easily.

• EXCESSIvELY LONG vENT. Measure the length of your

exhaust system and count the elbows. Use the chart

below to see if your duct is too long. If it is too long,

have the duct routed to another location that is within

the venting guidelines.

• DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR FOIL vENTING. The

transition duct from your dryer to the wall must be rigid

or semi-rigid metal ducting. If your old transition duct is

plastic or foil, REPLACE IT with semi-rigid metal ducting.

Using the DUCT LENGTH CHART (below)

Find your vent hood type in the chart below.

Select the row that matches the number of elbows in your dryer duct run.

Look to the right of the elbow number for the maximum duct length for your installation. Longer duct length will result

in reduced drying performance, longer dry times and increased energy consumption. Extremely long ducts can even

shorten the life of the dryer.

DO NOT exceed the maximum length for the vent hood type and number of elbows used.

Use duct tape on all joints. Never use screws.

Insulate ducts that run through unheated areas in order

to reduce condensation and lint buildup on

duct surfaces.

The total length of semi-rigid metal transition duct

should not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).

IMPORTANT: Failure to exhaust the dryer, per the

guidelines included within these instructions, may

result in unsatisfactory dryer performance. All venting

and ductwork beyond the exterior of the dryer is the

responsibility of the consumer. Product failure, as a

result of improper venting, is not covered by the dryer

warranty.

Connecting the Dryer Vent

Verify all ducts and elbows are clean and free

from any blockages.

Measure duct length. DO NOT exceed the

maximum length listed in the Duct Length Chart.

Connect dryer exhaust to existing duct.
