Warning

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the dryer.

• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as

described in this manual.

• 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.

• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-

cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum or any other

part is moving.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer

or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in this owner’s manual or in published

user-repair instructions that you understand and have

the skills to carry out.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door to the drying compartment.

• 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 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

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be

exposed to the weather.

• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign

objects.

• Clean lint screen before or after each load.

• Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may

burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.

Failure to do so can cause product damage, smoke or

fire.

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 modify the plug provided with the appliance. If

it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

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.

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.

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 

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.

(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See 



• 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.

this warning can cause serious injury or death.

To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying

performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,

noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a

perfectly level, solid surface.

1. Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level

across the top of the dryer.

• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor.

Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make

sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.

If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal,

you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to

level the dryer. The dryer leveling feet should be fully

retracted.

2. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the leveling feet.

Turn clockwise to raise the dryer or counterclockwise

to lower it. Raise or lower the leveling feet until dryer

is level from side to side and front to back.

Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm contact with

the floor.

NOTE

Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to

level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than

necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

NOTE

Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. It is not

recommended to use more than four 90° elbows.

NOTE

Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying

performance and reduce lint buildup and

condensation in the ductwork.

Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must be

purchased separately.

• Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or semirigid

metal ductwork.

• The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.

• Use as few elbow joints as possible.

• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must

point away from the dryer.

• Use duct tape on all duct joints.

• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas

in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup on

duct surfaces.

• Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not

covered by the dryer warranty. Failures or poor

performance caused by such exhaust systems will

not be covered by the dryer warranty.

a. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the cold

water faucet.

Connecting Inlet Hose

The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses

3. Connect the hose to the dryer.

• Connect the water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve

tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with

pliers.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses and that

they are not crushed.

4. Turn on the cold water faucet.

5. Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and in all

hoses.

NOTE

• If any leaks are found, shut o the water faucet,

remove the hose and check the condition of the

hose washer.

NOTE

• Before connecting the water line to the dryer, ush

several gallons of water into a drain or bucket. This will

help prevent foreign particles such as sand and scale

from clogging the dryer inlet valve.

• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

NOTE

• Water supply pressure must be between 21.8 PSI and 116 PSI (150~800 kPa).

• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting inlet hose to the valve.

• If the water supply pressure is more than 800 kPa, a decompression device should be installed.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.

• 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.
