Note to Customer- Keepthese instructionswith

your Owner's Hanual for future reference.

• Beforethe appliance is removedfrom serviceor

discarded,remove thewasher and dryer doors.

Inspect the dryer exhaust outlet and straighten

the outlet walls ifthey are bent.

Service information and the wiring diagram are

located at the accesspanel.

Do not allow children on or in the appliance.

Closesupervision of children isnecessarywhen

the appliance isusednear children.

Install the appliance where the temperature is

above 50°F for satisfactory operation of the

control system.

coveredunder the Warranty.

_LW_KI_I|I_I£_" RISK OF FIRE

. To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation

instructions.

Appliance installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

Install the appliance according to these instructions and in accordance

with local codes.

This appliance must be exhausted to the outdoors.

Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the

outdoors.

DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials.

If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be

UL listed and installed in accordance with the instructions found

in "Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 8 of this manual.

Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed,

and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase

the risk of fire.

Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it could be

exposed to water and or weather.

Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions

with the customer).

NOTE: installation and service of this appliance requires basic

mechanical and electrical skills, it is your responsibility to

contact a qualified installer to make the electrical connections.

A WAR N IN G -TOREDUCETHERISKOF

FIRE,ELECTRICALSHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY:

• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN

ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Thisdryer must be electrically grounded in accordance

with local codes,or inthe absence of localcodes,with the

National ElectricalCode,ANSI/NFPANO.70 or Canadian

ElectricalCode,CSAC22.1.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be connected to an individual

branch circuit, protected by the required time-delay

fuses or circuit breakers. A four or three-wire, single

phase, 120/240V or 120/208V, 60Hz, 30 amp circuit

is required. If the electric supply does not meet the

above specifications, then call a licensed electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

a.

For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:

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 is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING -Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with e qualified electrician

or servicemen if you are in doubt us to whether the

appliance is properly grounded.

Installation

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS {Cont.}

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.

B.Fordirect-wire connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead

on the appliance.

EXHAUST INFORMATION

WARNING - IN CANADAANDIN

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.

, Reduce the dryer life.

, Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation isYOURRESPONSIBILITY.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by

the warranty.

Removeand discard existing plastic or metal foil transition

duct and replace with ULlisted transition duct.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLEduct 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. Themaximum duct length

for rigid metal duct isshown in the following table.

, Thetotal vent system length includes allthe 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 fiow and should require little or no

maintenance to prevent clogging.

,Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This

could cause lint build up.

, Wall caps 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 last turn and

exhaust hood.

TURNSOTHERTHAN 90°

* One turn of 45oor less may be ignored.

* Two 45oturns should be treated as one 90oturn.

* Eachturn over 45oshould be treated as one 90oturn.

SEALING OFJOINTS

. All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of

each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

* Donot 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 area or isnear air

conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation

and lint build-up.

Installation

[] EXHAUST CONNECTION

, WARNING - TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

. This appliance 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 in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,

gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an 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 a common duct with

a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease

and lint creates a potential fire hazard.

, Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust

length table. Longer ducts can 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 can accumulate

lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

, Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

, Provideanaccessfor inspectionandcleaningoftheexhaust

system,especiallyat turns andjoints. Exhaustsystemshall

be inspectedand cleanedat leastonceayear.

Level and stabilizing your appliance

!. Carefully move the appliance to its final location. Gently rock

the appliance into position. It isimportant not to damage the

rubber leveling legswhen moving your appliance to its final

location. Damaged 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 use washer 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: Keepthe leg extension at minimum to prevent excessive

vibration. Thefarther out legs are extended, the more the unit

will vibrate.
