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

• 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.

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

[_ 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.
