DANGER

Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old dryer,

take off the door so that children may not get trapped inside.

Risk of Fire: WARNING

1. Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

2. Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local

codes.

3. Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible

metal (foil type) 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. The

conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

Circuit

Individual 15 Amp branch circuit fused with 15-Amp maximum time delay fuse or

circuit breakers.

Power Supply

3 wire, 120 Volt, 1 Phase, 60Hz, AC

Power Supply Cord

The dryer is equipped with a 120 Volt 3-wire power supply cord.

Note: This dryer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your

protection against shock hazard and should be plugged into a properly

grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not under any circumstance cut or

remove grounding prong from plug.

UNPACKING YOUR DRYER

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive

tape holding the dryer accessories inside and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packaging, tape or printed materials

before using the dryer.

WARNING

The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation

of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive

drying times and fire hazards.

1. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up

inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted

air flow will increase drying time. If your present system is made up of plastic

duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure

present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

2. The dryer must not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or

any concealed space of a building. The dryer exhaust system MUST be

exhausted to the outdoors. 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.

3. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the

“Maximum Length” chart can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust

system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase

drying times.

4. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system. Lint can become caught in

the screen, increasing drying time. Use an approved vent hood to terminate

the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape.

5. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed downstream with the flow of air.

6. Exhaust duct must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening

devices which extend into the interior of the duct.

7. Do not allow combustible material (clothing, draperies/curtains, paper, etc.) to

come in contact with exhaust system.

Explosion hazard:

Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or

stored. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.

EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS:

Use only 4 inch (10.2cm) diameter (minimum) rigid of flexible metal duct and

approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper hat open when the dryer is

in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent

drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,

maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5cm) clearance between the vent hood

and the ground or any other obstruction.

The vent flap should be able to move freely, although vertical orientation of the

exhaust system is acceptable. Certain extenuating circumstances could affect the

performance of the dryer:

1. Only rigid metal duct work should be used.

2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down

drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.

3. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause

condensation and faster accumulation of lint.

4. Compression of crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in

vent restriction.

5. In Canada, that only those foil-types flexible ducts, if any, specifically

identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In

the United States, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically

identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with

the UL Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A (2006), shall

be used.

6. In Canada, that the exhaust duct shall be 102mm in diameter. In the United

States, the required exhaust duct diameter.

7. The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4m.

The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 12

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.

Note: Exhausting refers to removal of moist air from the drying compartment.
