WARNING RISK OF FIRE

•Toreducethe riskof severe injury or death,follow oil installation instructions.

• Clothesdryer installation must be performed byo qualified instolle[

• Installthe clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance with local

codes.Inthe absence of local codes,installation must comply with Notional FuelGas

Code,ANSIZ223.1/NFPA54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Code,CSAB149.1.

• CaliforniaSofaDrinking Water ond ToxicEnforcementAct.

This oct requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to

the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires

businesses to worn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas

appliances con cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,

carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete

combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adJusted dryers will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposureto these substances con be minimized further by

properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

•Thisdryer must beexhausted to the outdoors.

• Useonly 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.

• DO NOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials, tfflexible metal

(semi-rigidor foil-type) duct isinstalled,it must beULlistedand installed in accordance

with the instructionsfound in "Connecting TheDryerToHouseVent"on page 6of this

manual. Flexibleventing materials ore known to collapse,be easilycrushed, and trap

lint.Theseconditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

[_ EXHAUST CONNECTION

WARNING -TOREDUCETHE

RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

, This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the

outdoors.

. We recommend that you install your dryer before

installing your washer. This will permit direct access

for easier exhaust connection.

Useonly 4"rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust

duct.

Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal

(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer

to the home exhaust duct. It must be installed

in accordance with the instructions found in

"Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 6 of

this manual.

Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall,

a ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under on

enclosed floor, or in any other concealed space

of a building. The accumulated lint could create a

potential fire hazard.

Never terminate the exhaust into o common duct

with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of

grease and lint creates a potential fire hazard.

Donot use duct longer than specified in the exhaust

length table. Longer ducts con accumulate lint,

creating a potential fire hazard.

Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.

This will cause lint to accumulate, creating a

potential fire hazard.

Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners

that extend into the duct. These fasteners con

accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

Provide on access for inspection and cleaning of

the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.

Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at

least once year.

[] CONNECTING INLET HOSES

fan some models)

To produce steam, the dryer must connect to the cold

water supply. Since the washer must also connect to the

cold water, a "Y" connector is inserted to allow both inlet

hoses to make that connection at the same time.

NOTE:Usethe new inlet hoses provided; never

use old hoses.

1.Turn the cold water faucet off. Removethe washer inlet

hose from the washer fill valve connector (cold).

2. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer is in place and screw the

female coupling of the short hose onto the washer fill

valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

3. Attach the female end of the "Y" connector to the mule

coupling of the short hose. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer

isin place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

4. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer's

inlet hose. If a rubber fiat washer is already in place

remove it before installing the filter screen. Attach this

coupling to one male end of the "Y" connector. Tighten

by hand until firmly seated.

5. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer is in place and attach the

dryer's long inlet hose to the other male end of the "Y"

connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

6. Ensure the rubber fiat washer is in place and attach

the other end of the dryer's long inlet hose to the fill

valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel.

Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional

two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may

result.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets IvlUSTbe installed within 42 in.

(107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The faucets MUST

be 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can

be connected. Water pressure MUSTbe between 10 and

120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can

advise you of your water pressure.

NOTE:Awater softener is recommended to reduce buildup

of scale inside the steam generator if the home water

supply isvery hard.

WARNING RISK OF FIRE

•Toreducethe risk of severe injury or death,follow oil installation instructions.

• Clothesdryer installation must be performed byo qualified instolle[

• Installthe clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance with local

codes.Inthe absence of local codes,installation must comply with Notional FuelGas

Code,ANSIZ223.1/NFPA54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Code,CSAB149.1.

• CaliforniaSofaDrinking Water ond ToxicEnforcementAct.

This oct requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to

the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires

businesses to worn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas

appliances con cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,

carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete

combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adJusted dryers will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposureto these substances con be minimized further by

properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

•Thisdryer must beexhausted to the outdoors.

• Useonly 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.

• DO NOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials, tfflexible metal

(semi-rigidor foil-type) duct isinstalled,it must beULlistedand installed in accordance

with the instructionsfound in "Connecting TheDryerToHouseVent"on page 6of this

manual. Flexibleventing materials ore known to collapse,be easilycrushed, and trap

lint.Theseconditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

[_ EXHAUST CONNECTION

WARNING -TOREDUCETHE

RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

, This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the

outdoors.

. We recommend that you install your dryer before

installing your washer. This will permit direct access

for easier exhaust connection.

Useonly 4"rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust

duct.

Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal

(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer

to the home exhaust duct. It must be installed

in accordance with the instructions found in

"Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 6 of

this manual.

Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall,

a ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under on

enclosed floor, or in any other concealed space

of a building. The accumulated lint could create a

potential fire hazard.

Never terminate the exhaust into o common duct

with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of

grease and lint creates a potential fire hazard.

Donot use duct longer than specified in the exhaust

length table. Longer ducts con accumulate lint,

creating a potential fire hazard.

Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.

This will cause lint to accumulate, creating a

potential fire hazard.

Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners

that extend into the duct. These fasteners con

accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

Provide on access for inspection and cleaning of

the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.

Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at

least once year.
