WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, 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 ﬂammable or explosive

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

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

such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ﬂammable chemicals, paint thinner, etc.,

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

substances may cause the fabric to catch ﬁre by itself.

4. Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable 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

speciﬁcally 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

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

qualiﬁed 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

ﬁre. To reduce the risk of ﬁre due to contaminated loads, the ﬁnal part of a tumble dryer

cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping 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.

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

installing your dryer 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.

19. Do not insert your hand under the dryer.

- This may result in injury.

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

- This may result in injury.

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

electric shock only during servicing.

- Do not contact this part while appliance is energized.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING

Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre or explosion:

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

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other ﬂammable or explosive substances. They

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

cleaning solvent or ﬂammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all

traces of these ﬂammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

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

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

turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-

like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,

under certain circumstances, produce ﬁre by spontaneous combustion.

What to do if you smell gas:

• Donottrytolightanyappliance.

• Donotturnontheappliance.

• Donottouchanyelectricalswitch.

• Donotuseanyphoneinyourbuilding.

• Cleartheroom,buildingorareaofalloccupants.

• Immediatelycallyourgassupplierfromaneighbor’sphone.Followthegassupplier’s

instructions.

• Ifyoucannotreachyourgassupplier,calltheredepartment.

• Installationandservicemustbeperformedbyaqualiedinstaller,serviceagency,orthe

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 controls.

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

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 qualiﬁed 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

installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

Ensure pockets are free from small, irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

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

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

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

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 signiﬁcant amounts of these oils.

Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. 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 ﬁre. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat

from escaping and can create a ﬁre 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.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.

• Do not use a smaller duct.

• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can cause increased lint accumulation.

Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

• If a ﬂexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a sti sheet metal wall. Do not use a ﬂexible duct

with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the ﬂexible metal duct is bent too sharply.

• Never install any type of ﬂexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• Plastic ﬂexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airﬂow, extend drying times, and aect dryer

operation.

• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, aect machine operation, and

may collect lint.

• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and

the entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.

• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and

the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.

• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house

or porch.

• If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly

down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before

cleaning.

• Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

• Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then

check ducting for obstructions.

• Do not exhaust dryer into any wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or

any other common duct or chimney. This could create a ﬁre hazard from lint expelled by the dryer.

If the new dryer is being installed into an existing exhaust system, you must

make sure:

• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

• That a ﬂexible plastic duct is not used.

• To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

• The duct is not kinked or crushed.

• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be

less than 0.

This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust

duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be

empty and the lint ﬁlter clean.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept

for future reference.

Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suocating.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

Locate the dryer where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind

for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the right

or the left (electric model only), use the accessory exhaust kit (sold separately). Instructions are included

with the kit. It’s important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where

there is no air-ﬂow obstruction.

On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air

for combustion and proper dryer operation.

Do not install or store the dryer in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Keep the dryer

area clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other ﬂammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces

combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint free.

Place the dryer at least 18 in. (460 mm) above the ﬂoor for garage installation.
