INSTALLATION
• Before use, the appliance must be properly installed as described in this manual.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized power circuit to avoid electrical overload.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded by qualified service personnel in accordance
with local codes.
• Disconnect the power cord, house fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing the appliance.
• When moving or installing the product in a different location, call qualified service personnel for
installation and service.
• Keep packing materials out of the reach of children. Packaging material can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation.
• Moving or installation of the appliance requires two or more people.
• This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, trailers, or
aircraft.
• Store and install the appliance where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed
to outdoor weather conditions.
• This appliance must be positioned near to an electrical power supply.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
• Do not install the appliance in humid spaces.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing materials after the appliance is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers.
• Adhere to all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and
safety glasses.
• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has
missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• 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. These
conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• Place the dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.
• Do not use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
• Use only rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal 4-inch diameter duct inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting
to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork may cause a fire. Punctured ductwork may
cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should
be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.
• Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. All
non-rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition duct could affect
drying time.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end
cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.
