WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or explosion: • Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

Y-connector Rubber washer Water hose Short water hose (Canada model only supplied) WARNING Packing materials can be dangerous to children. Keep all packing material (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of children’s reach. CAUTION • Do not move the product while holding the front part of the top cover of the dryer. This may cause the cover to separate from the dryer and result in injury.
Installation Before installation Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept for future reference. WARNING Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suffocating. Control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
Location considerations Locate the dryer where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the right or the left (electric model only), use the accessory exhaust kit (sold separately).
Installation Ducting requirements Weather hood type Recommended Use only for short-run installation 4” (10.2 cm) 2.5” (6.4 cm) No. of 90° Metallic Metallic Rigid Rigid elbows flexible* flexible* 80 ft. (24.4 m) 41 ft. (12.4 m) 74 ft. (22.6 m) 33 ft.

• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. • Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet. • To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well.
Installation Exhausting The dryer must not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building. Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amount of lint and moisture from being blown into the room.
Gas requirements WARNING • Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases. • THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN /CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA). • Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas.

A “T” handle manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to your dryer. If a flexible gas connector is used to install your dryer, the connector can be no longer than 3’...
Grounding This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current. WARNING Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Installation Electrical connections Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the "Grounding" section. An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Gas models – U.S. and Canada A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required.
Step-by-step installation For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer. Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation. To install the dryer, follow these steps: 1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer sideby- side so you have easy access to both appliances.

Page 24
Installation WARNING For U.S. models: Risk of electrical shock • All U.S.models are designed for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral.

Method2 The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. (long hose : Canada model only supplied) 1. If the “Y” connector (A) cannot be attached directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used.
Installation 5. Attach the ‘Y” connector to the brass male end of the small hose. Screw on the coupling by hand until it is seated on the connector. 6. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two-thirds turn. NOTE Do not overtighten, as it may damage the coupling.
Dryer exhaust tips WARNING Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard. 1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily. 2. Use 4”(*) diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at the dryer. Never use lint-trapping screws.
Page 30
Installation 4. Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer. Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually. Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by: 1. Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
3. Using unnecessarily long ducts that have many elbows. 4. Using crushed or clogged venting or ducts. Door reversal If you want to reverse the direction of the door, we recommend you call a qualified service technician. 1. Unplug the power cord. 2.
