property damage due to fire.
•Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this
Owner’s Manual. This dryer must be:
- Properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
- Properly grounded to conform with Local Codes. Follow details in Installation
Instructions.
- Located where the temperature is above 50°F(10°C) for satisfactory
operation of the dryer control system. Do not install or store the dryer
where it will be exposed to the weather.
- Connected to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit
to avoid electrical overload.
- Vented to the outside to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from
being blown into the room.
Carefully follow the venting details in the Installation Instructions.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual.
When disconnecting this appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord to
avoid damage to the cord or junction of cord and plug. Make sure that the
cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
To Minimize the Possibility of a Fire Hazard
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials (such as
padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, pillows, baby pants, plastic
bags, etc.) as these materials may melt or burn. Also, some rubber materials, when
heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Do not store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics or
plastic containers, etc.) on top of the dryer during operation.
• Garments labeled “Dry Away from Heat” must not be put in your dryer.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, paint, gasoline degreasers,
dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode.
Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances around your
washer and/or dryer during operation.
• Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which contains
flammable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons,
restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near 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,
de-natured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.

Safety Instructions
• Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in
the room. DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT LINTFILTER IN PLACE.
• Keep the area around the exhaust opening, and around and underneath your appliances
free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.
• Regularly inspect the vent duct to ensure it has not been crushed or otherwise restricted.
• The interior of the dryer cabinet and the exhaust duct connection inside the dryer should
be cleaned every 2 to 3 years, or more often if needed, by a qualified service person.
To Minimize the Possibility of Injury
• Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unloaing or
adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.
• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from the remain-
ing glass particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent dryer uses.
• The laundry process can reduce the flame retardance of some fabrics. To avoid such a
result, the garment manufacturer’s care instructions should be followed very carefully.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used in reach of or near children. Do
not allow children to play inside, on, or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.
Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing materials properly. Before
discarding a dryer, or removing from service, remove the door of the dryer
compartment.
• Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) out of the
reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container
labels to avoid personal injury.
• Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility of
slipping.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power
supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning (except the removal and
cleaning of the lint filter).
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled,
or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• Never climb on or stand on the dryer.
• DO NOTplace items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminaed with
cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a clothes load to
catch fire.

Installation Instructions
DUCTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency.
IMPORTANT: Have your dryer installed properly.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT instructions appearing in this manual are
not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must
be understood that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors that CAN-
NOT be built into the dryer. These factors MUST BE supplied by the person(s)
installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.
Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s
instructions may result in conditions which can result in bodily injury and/or damage
to property.
This dryer comes ready for rear
venting.
WARNINGS
SEPARATION OF TURNS
Separate all turns by at least 1m(3ft.) of
straight duct, including distance between
last turn and dampered wall cap. If two
turns must be closer than 1 m (3 ft.)
deduct 3 m (10 ft.) from the maximum
lengths shown in the table for each occur-
rence.
• Never use flexible duct inside the dryer.
• Do not terminate ducting in a chimney,
range hood, gas vent, floor or attic
space. The combination of lint and
grease could create a fire hazard or
cause damage.
• Provide an access for inspection and
cleaning the exhaust system at least
once a year.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90°
• One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
• Two 45° turns should be treated as one
90°.
• Each turn over 45° should be treated as
one 90°.
EXHAUST LENGTH
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length
of the ducting depends upon the type
of duct, number of turns, the type of
external venting point, and all conditions
noted below. The maximum allowable
length for both rigid and flexible metal
ducting is shown in table 1 (next page).
More than four 90°turns is not
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
The male end of each section of duct
must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the duct work with
fasteners that extend into the duct. They
will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and
moisture-tight by wrapping the
recommended.
VENTING CHECK LIST -
or WALL CAP
HOOD
overlapped joints with duct tape.
INSULATION
• Terminate ducting in a manner to
prevent back drafts, entry of birds or
other wildlife.
• Duct work which runs through an
unheated area or is near an air condi-
tioning duct, should be insulated to
reduce condensation and lint build up
and be sloped down toward outdoors.
NOTE: Never install screen inside exhaust duct.
WARNING: THE DRYER MUST
VENT TO THE OUTDOORS.
TO PREVENT LARGE AMOUNTS
OF LINT AND MOISTURE FROM
ACCUMULATING AND TO
• Termination should present minimal
resistance to the exhaust air flow and
should require little or no maintenance
to prevent clogging.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 300
mm (12”) above ground level or any
other obstruction with the opening
pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered plenums are
used, they must be equivalent to a 100
mm (4”) wall cap with damper, in
regard to resistance to air flow,
prevention of back drafts and
maintenance required to prevent
clogging.
MAINTAIN DRYING EFFICIENCY,
THIS MACHINE MUST BE
VENTED OUTDOORS.
