IMPORTANT
TO INSTALLER
PLEASE
READ THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY
BEFORE
STARTING
TO INSTALL
THE DRYER.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SHOULD
BE RETAINED
FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
REMOVE
THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED
APPLIANCES
SUCH AS DRYERS
TO AVOID THE
DANGER
OF A CHILD
SUFFOCATING.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The dryer should
be located
to permit adequate
room in front for loading the dryer, and sufficient
room behind the dryer for the exhaust
system.
This dryer is factory-ready
for rear exhaust.
To
exhaust
out the bottom
or left side, use the acces-
sory exhaust
kit (see Accessories).
Instructions
are
included
with the kit.
It is important to make sure the room has adequate
make-up air. The area where the dryer is located must
not obstruct the flow of combustion
or ventilating air.
On gas dryers,
adequate
clearance
as noted on the
data plate must be maintained
to insure adequate
air for combustion
and proper operation
of the dryer.
THE DRYER
MUST
NOT BE INSTALLED
OR
STORED
IN AN AREA WHERE
IT WILL BE
EXPOSED
TO WATER AND/OR
WEATHER.
THE
DRYER
AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR AND FREE
FROM
COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS,
GASOLINE
AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE
VAPORS
AND
LIQUIDS.
A DRYER
PRODUCES
COMBUSTIBLE
LINT.

THE DRYER
SHOULD
BE KEPT FREE OF LINT.

MOBILE
HOME
INSTALLATION
The installation
of the dryer in mobile homes must
conform to the Manufactured
Home Construction
and
Safety Standard
Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 {formerly
the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280), 1975} for the
United States,) or CSA Standards
Z240 (for Canada).
When installing
a dryer in a mobile home, provisions
for anchoring
the dryer to the floor must be made.
An anchor
bracket
kit is available
with instructions
(see Accessories).
Locate in an area that has
adequate
make up air. A minimum
of 25 square
inches of unobstructed
opening
is required.
All mobile
home installations
must be exhausted
to
the outside
with the exhaust
duct termination
securely
fastened
to the mobile
home structure,
using materials
that will not support
combustion.
The exhaust
duct may not terminate
beneath
the
mobile
home.
See the section
on exhausting
for
more information.
EXHAUSTING
Exhausting
the dryer to the outside will prevent
large amounts
of lint and moisture
from being blown
into the room.
In the United
States:
• all gas dryers
must be exhausted
to the outside.
• electric
dryers
located
in a confined
area
such
as a bedroom,
bathroom,
or closet
must
be exhausted
to the outside.
• electric
dryers
not located
in a confined
area
may be exhausted
to the inside
(see nonex-
hausted
installations).
In Canada:
• all gas and electric
dryers
must be exhaust-
ed to the outside.
Outside
the U.S. and Canada:
• refer to local codes.
_,WARNING
WARNING-
plastic or nonmetal
flexible duct presents
a potential
fire hazard•
NEVER USE PLASTIC
OR NON-
METAL FLEXIBLE
DUCT.
If your existing ductwork
is plastic, nonmetal or
combustible, replace it with metal. Use only metal
exhaust duct that will not support combustion to
insure the containment of exhaust air, heat and lint.
Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce
air flow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation.
USE A MINIMUM
OF 4-INCH
DIAMETER
RIGID
ALUMINUM
OR RIGID GALVANIZED
STEEL
DUCT.
Do not use smaller
duct.
Ducts larger than
4 inches in diameter
can result in increased
lint
accumulation.
Lint accumulation
should
be cleaned
regularly.
If flexible
metal duct must be used, use
the type with a stiff sheet metal wall.
Do not use
flexible
duct with a thin foil wall.
Serious
blockage
can result if flexible
metal duct is bent too sharp.
Never install any type of flexible
duct in walls, ceil-
ings or other concealed
spaces.
