WARNING

• State of California Proposition 65 Warning (US only)

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING - Risk of Fire

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualied installer.

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

• Do not install a clothes dryer with exible plastic venting materials. If 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.

• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

• Save these instructions.

Important safety precautions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,

follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.

2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,

or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive

substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

3. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any ammable substance,

such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ammable chemicals, paint thinner,

etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths.

Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch re by itself.

4. Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids near this or any

other appliance.

5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the appliance is used near children.

6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the

drying compartment.

7. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

9. Do not tamper with internal controls.

10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any service unless

specically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-

repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

11. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

12. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

13. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-

like materials.

14. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the

accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

15. The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by

qualied service personnel.

16. 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

re.

17. This appliance must be grounded. See “Electrical requirements” and ”Grounding” in

“Installation” section.

18. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the appliance is used near children.

• This may result in injury.

20. Take care that children’s ngers are not caught in the door when closing it.

• This may result in injury.

21. The Control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a

risk of electric shock only during servicing.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or explosion:

• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances. They

emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a

cleaning solvent or ammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until

all traces of these ammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

There are many highly ammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured

alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,

turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.

• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly

textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,

under certain circumstances, ignite spontaneously.

Warnings

WARNING

• Ensure pockets are free of small, irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign material,

i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

Cautions

CAUTION

• Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close

supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.

• Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying

compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.

• Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.

• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless

specically instructed to in the user-repair instructions and you have the

understanding and skills to carry out the procedure.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless the softener or

product is recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or

product.

• Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust,

and dirt.

• The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualied

service personnel.

• This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle

that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See

the installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.

• Do not sit on top of the dryer.

• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.

• Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil

or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain signicant amounts

of these oils.

• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous

combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed

to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation

reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items

can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items

may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.

• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be

dangerous.

Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,

the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their

temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying

cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these

items when they are hot.

appliances to prevent a child from

suffocating.

Location considerations

• Adequate clearances between the dryer

and adjacent walls or other surfaces.

• Adequate air circulation for ventilation.

• Away from water and weather.

WARNING

• Make sure to exhaust the dryer

outdoors to reduce the risk of re.

• Keep the dryer area clear of

combustible materials, gasoline, and

other ammable vapors and liquids.

• Do not install other fuel-burning

appliances around or in the same place

as the dryer.

Alcove or closet installation

Minimum clearances between the dryer

and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:

3” (76mm) in front, 17” (432 mm) on top,

0”(0mm) on either side, and 3’’ (76mm) in

the back.

The closet front must have two

unobstructed air openings for a combined

minimum total area of 72 in² (465 cm²)

with 3” (7.6 cm) minimum clearance on

the top and bottom. A louvered door with

equivalent space clearance is acceptable.
