iMPORTANT SAFETYiNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the dryer.

[] This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles

that have been washed in water. Do not use for any

other purpose.

[] WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any

electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear

the area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.

[] 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, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite

or explode.

[] Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is

used near children.

[] Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the doors to the dryer compartment.

[] Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

[] Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.

[] Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed

to the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls.

[] Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.

[] Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.

[] Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt

any servicing unless specifically recommended in this

Installation Instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills

to carry out.

[] 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.

[] The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat

(cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left at

a temperature that ensures that the items will not be

damaged.

[] WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of

the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and

spread out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids risk of

spontaneous combustion).

[] 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 dryer exhaust vent should

be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" section for grounding

instructions.

GASDRYERINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Location Requirements

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not install in a garage.

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

Your dryer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or

recessed area.

Companion appliance location requirements should also be

considered.

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the dryer where it

will be exposed to the weather. Proper installation is your

responsibility.

You will need:

[] A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of

where the power cord is attached to the back of the dryer.

See "Electrical Requirements."

[] A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under

entire dryer. Installing the dryer on soft floor surfaces,

such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not

recommended.

Gas dryer installation clearances

[] The location must be large enough to allow the dryer door

to be fully opened.

[] Additional spacing should be considered for ease of

installation and servicing. The door opens more than 180°.

[] Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and

floor moldings.

[] Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is

recommended to reduce noise transfer.

When installing a gas dryer:

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

[] Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not

permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or

sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

[] Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back

and bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to

permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion

air. See "Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions"

below for minimum spacing requirements.

This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. For

recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances

can be found on the warning label on the rear of the dryer

or in "Dimensions/Clearances."

The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum

allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease

of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and

ordinances.

If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air

opening in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors

with equivalent air openings are acceptable.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same

closet as the dryer.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord,

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

iMPORTANT: The dryer must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence

of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. If codes

permit and a separate ground wire is used, it isrecommended

that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground

path isadequate.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

[] Do not ground to a gas pipe.

[] Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

[] A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical

circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

also recommended. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this dryer be provided.

[] This dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having a

3-prong grounding plug.

[] To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be

plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,

grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the

properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

[] If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that

the ground path is adequate.

[] Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

dryer is properly grounded.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

[] For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This dryer 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 dryer uses 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.

[] For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer 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 dryer.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative

or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power

supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.
