, To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all
installation instructions.
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a
qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions
and in accordance with local codes.
This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the
clothes dryer to the outdoors.
DONOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting
materials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is
installed, it must be ULlisted and installed in accordance
with the instructions found in Connecting The Dryer To
House Vent on page 5 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

SEALING OFJOINTS
, All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male 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 area or is near air
conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation
and lint build-up.

. 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 5 of
this manual.
. Do not terminate exhaust in o 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 o common duct
with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of
grease and lint creates o 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.
. Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of
the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.
Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at

TRANSITIONDUCT
, tn special installations, it may be necessary to connect the
dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-type)duct.
A UL-listedflexible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY
in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid)
ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be
maintainedthroughout the entire lengthof the transition duct.
tn Canada and the United States,only the flexible metal (foiltype) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes Dryer
TransitionDuct Subject2158A"shall be used.
, Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosedspaces.
Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4m).
, Avoidresting the duct on sharp objects.
, For best drying performance:
1.Slideone end of the duct overthe clothes dryer outlet pipe.
2.Securethe duct with a clamp.
3.With the dryer in its permanent position,extend the duct to
its full length. Allow 2" of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe.
Cut off and remove excess duct. Keepthe duct as straight
as possiblefor maximum airflow.
4. Securethe duct to the exhaust pipewith the other clamp.

7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may
result.
8. Turn the water faucet on.

To produce steam, the dryer must connect to the cold
water supply. Since the washer must also connect to the
cold water, a ",7" connector is inserted to allow both inlet
hoses to make that connection at the same time.
NOTE: Use the new inlet hoses provided; never use old
hoses.
1. Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the washer inlet
hose from the washer fill valve connector (cold).
2. Ensure the 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 '"7" connector to the mule
coupling of the short hose. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer
is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

9. Check for leaks around the '"7" connector, faucet and
hose couplings.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUSTbe 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:A water softener is recommended to reduce buildup
of scale inside the steam generator if the home water
supply is very hard.

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 '"7" connector. Tighten
by hand until firmly seated.
5. Ensure the rubber fiat washer is in place and attach the
dryer's long inlet hose to the other male end of the '"7"
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.
