familiar with the instructions for operation of the
Appliance and always exercise care when
using it.
EXHAUSTING THE DRYER
A proper exhaust system is critical for good
drying
results. Restricted airflow
affects dryer
performance
and results in longer drying
times.
Exhaust duclwork
guidelines:
• Use 4" diameter rigid metal exhaust duct. Do
not use smaller duct. Minimize the length of
duct and the number of elbows. Secure joints
with duct tape. Do not use screws.
• Never use plastic or nonmetal flexible duct. This
can kink, cause lintbuildup and reduce airflow
which creates service problems.
• If flexible duct must be used, use only the type
with a stiff sheet metal wall Do not kink or
crush the duct. Do not use flexible duct with a
thin foil wall.
• Clean out previously used exhaust duct.
Replace kinked or crushed sections. Be sure
exhaust vent hood flap opens and closes freely.
• Refer to the installation instructions for
additional dryer exhaust information.
ENERGY SAVING
TIPS
Clean the lint filter after each cycle for greater
efficiency
and performance.
• Avoid overloading the dryer. A proper wash
load is a proper dryer load. Do not combine
loads. Avoid drying very small loads or mixed
loads of heavy, hard_to_dryitems with
lightweight ones.
Properly select and check exhaust venting. Four
inch rigid _netal ducting is recommended to
prevent lint collection and improve dryer
operation. Periodically check the ductwork for
any obstructions that could reduce the airflow
and efficiency.
Remove items from the dryer as soon as
tumbling stops for best results and efficiency.
This reduces wrinkling
and ironing.
REVERSING
THE DOOR
The dryer door is designed with flexibility in mind.
It can be mounted on the dryer front so as to open
from left to right, or reversed and open from right
to left. This provides flexibility for the dryer located
