_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.
