ADJUSTING FOR ELEVATION
. Gas clothes dryers input ratings are based on sea level
operation and need not be adjusted for operation at
or below 2000 ft. elevation. For operation at elevations
above 2000 ft., input ratings should be reduced at a rate
of 4 percent for each !000 ft. above sea level.
. Installation must conform to local codes and ordinances
or, in their absence with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane

[_ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
AND PERSONAL INJURY:
. DO NOT USEAN EXTENSIONCORDORAN ADAPTER
PLUGWITH THISAPPLIANCE.
Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL
ELECTRICALCODE,ANSI/NFPANO.70.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and
connected to a properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a 15- or 20- amp circuit breaker or time-
delay fuse. If electrical supply provided does not meet the
above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed
electrician install an approved outlet.
, WARNING - THIS DRYER IS
EQUIPPED A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING)
PLUG FOR 'fOUR PROTECTION AGAINST
SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED
DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED
THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT
OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM
THIS PLUG.
ENSURE PROPERGROUND EXISTSBEFOREUSE.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
of electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that isproperly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARN IN 6 - Improper connectionofthe
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
_-I EXHAUST INFORMATION
I WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE
UNITED STATES,THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT
DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102ram). DO NOT USE DUCT
LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST
LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reducethe dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY.Problems due to incorrect installation
are not covered by the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil
transition duct and replace with ULlisted transition duct.
The MAXIMUMALLOWABLEduct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of
duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall
cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct
length for rigid metal duct isshown in the table below.

Exhaust Hood Types
Recommended
, For every extra 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent
system length by 10ft.
, Two 45°elbows will be treated likeone 90°elbow. Forthe
sideexhaust installations,add one 90°elbow tothe chart.
, The total vent system length includes all the straight
portions and elbows of the system (transition duct
included).
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD ORWALL CAP
, Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry
of birds or other wildlife.
, Termination should present minimal resistance to
the exhaust air flow and should require little or no
maintenance to prevent clogging.
, Never install u screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
could cause lint build up.
, Wall cups must be installed at least 12 in.above ground
level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed
down.
SEPARATIONOFTURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4
ft. of straight duct, including distance between lust turn
and exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHERTHAN 90°
, One turn of 450 or less may be ignored.
, Two 450 turns should be treated us one 900 turn.
, Each turn over 450 should be treated us one 900 turn.
SEALINGOFJOINTS
, Alljoints should be tight to avoid leaks.The mule end of
each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
, Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection
point for lint.
, Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
, Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors
1/4 inch per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated urea or is
near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce
condensation and lint build-up.
P-JEXHAUST CONNECTION
, WARNING - TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:
, This apliancce must be exhausted to the outdoors.
, Use only 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 8 of
this manual.
, Donot terminate exhaust inu chimney, uwall, uceiling,
gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor,
or in any other concealed space of u building. The
accumulated lint could create a potential fire hazard.
, Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct
with u kitchen exhaust system. A combination of
grease and lint creates mpotential fire hazard.
, Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust
length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint,
creating u potential fire hazard.
, Never install u screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
will cause lint to accumulate, creating mpotential fire
hazard.
, Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that
extend into the duct. Thesefasteners can accumulate
lint, creating mpotential fire hazard.
, Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
, Provide an 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.

2LEVELINGLEGS
Level and stabilizing your appliance
1. Carefully move the appliance to its final location.
Gently rock the appliance into position. It is important
not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving
your appliance to its final location. Damage legs can
increase appliance vibration. It may be helpful to
spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your
appliance to its final position.
Note: do not usewasher cover to lift the unit.
2. To ensure the appliance is level and solid on all four
legs, tilt the appliance forward so the rear legs are off
the ground. Gently set the appliance back down to
allow the rear legs to self adjust.
3.With the appliance in its final position, place a level on
top of back part of the washer lid and check it side to
side, then check front to back. Screw the front leveling
legs up or down to ensure the appliance is resting solid
on all four legs (no rocking or the appliance should
exist), turn the lock nuts on each leg up toward the base
of the unit and snug with a wrench.
Note: Keep the leg extension at minimum to prevent
excessive vibration. The farther out legs are extended, the
more the unit will vibrate.
