User-Maintenance Instructions

Exhaust requirements and
instructions:
1. Venting materials are not provided
with the dryer and you should obtain
the necessary venting materials. For
example, the outer end of exhaust pipe
must have a weather hood with hinged
dampers to prevent back draft when the
dryer is not in use.
2. The exhaust duct must be four
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.
3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is
recommended for use as transition
ducting between the dryer and the
wall. In special installations when it is
impossible to make a connection with
the above recommendations, a U.L.-
listed flexible metal transition duct may
be used between the dryer and wall
connection only. The use of this ducting
will affect dry time.
4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on
exhaust pipe joints or other fastening
means which extend into the duct that
could catch lint and reduce the efficiency
of the exhaust system. Secure all joints
with duct tape.
5. To maximize operating results, please
observe the duct length limitations noted
in the chart on page 44.
Exhaust and dryer maintenance
Caution!
Disconnect the dryer's electric power prior
to any cleaning or maintenance.
1. After one year of use, the interior and
complete exhaust system of the dryer
should be examined and cleaned if
necessary.
2. Before one year of use, when drying
performance has become unsatisfactory,
please examine and clean the exhaust
duct for better drying performance.
3. Check the weather hoods frequently to
ensure the dampers are moving freely,
that the dampers are not pushed in and
that nothing has been set against the
dampers.
4. A qualified service person or company
should be used to perform this
maintenance.
5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, sold separately
at home improvement stores, can be
used to exhaust the dryer when it is
placed in hard to reach location. This
Kit comes in two pieces, one to attach
to the dryer and the other to attach to
the wall exhaust outlet. After attaching
two separate pieces to the dryer and
the wall, the dryer may be returned to its
final position, after which the two pieces
themselves can be connected.
6. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no
care. Wipe the exterior of the dryer as
required. Always wipe the exterior of the
dryer in the event any detergent, bleach,
or other washing products are spilled on
the dryer.
7. Clean the control panel with a damp
cloth as necessary. Warning: spray
prewash products may damage the
finish of the control panel.
8. Please clean the lint filter either before
drying each load or after drying each
load.
9. Always make sure the lint filter is clean
before starting a new load, because a
clogged lint filter may increase drying times.
10. Please note that the wiring diagram is
provided inside the dryer control hood.
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing the dryer, because wiring
errors can cause serious injury to you
and your dryer.
