SELECT LOCATION FOR YOUR DRYER Selecting the proper location for your dryer makes installation easy and gives you the best drying performance. STANDARD INSTALLATION Check location where dryer will be installed. Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation (see illustration below). The dryer must can be exposed not be installed where it to water and/or weather. • Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F (at lower temperatures, the dryer may not shut off at the end of automatic cycles and drying times will be extended). Explosion Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to follow can result these in death, instructions explosion, or fire. • Check code requirements. Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector. 30-amp.

B. iNSTALL LEVELING LEGS Leveling your dryer correctly will reduce operating noise and provide improved drying performance. STEP 5. Stand the dryer up and move it close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent. STEP 6. Check levelness of dryer by placing a level on top of the dryer, first side-to-side; then front-to-back. STEP 1. Take two of the cardboard corners from the carton. Place them on the floor in back of the dryer. STEP 2. Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the top or console panel). Gently lay dryer on the cardboard corners. STEP 7. If dryer is not level, prop the dryer up using two stacked cardboard corner posts. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down. STEP check 3. With one of the legs in hand, the ridges for a diamond marking. STEP 4. Start to screw the legs into the holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until diamond marking is no longer visible. This is when we recommend you start checking the dryer for levelness. Further adjustment may be necessary. NOTE: It may be necessary to level the dryer again after it is moved into its final position. 11 C,MAKE ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION It is your responsibility: • To contact a qualified • To assure that the electrical electrical installer. installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70 - latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. Copies of the code standards above may be obtained from: National REQUIREMENTS Fire Protection Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts listed Association 02269 The proper electrical connection ensures a safe installation that meets local code requirements. A three-wire or four-wire, single phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, electrical supply (or three-wire or four-wire, 120/208-volt if specified on serial/rating plate) is required on a separate 30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. This dryer is manufactured with the 3-wire, frame-grounding conductor connected to the NEUTRAL (white or center) of the wiring harness of the terminal block. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in an electrical shock. Use a 4-conductor cord when dryer is installed in a mobile an area where local codes permit ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OPTIONS grounding the neutral.

The AUTO DRY Cycle saves you time by providing the best drying results in the shortest time. This can help you save money on utility bills and reduce the risk of fabric damage. AUTO DRY CYCLE Use AUTO DRY for most loads. Drying time varies according to type of fabric, size of load, and dryness setting. Using Automatic Drying Cycles • Set the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) to NORMAL DRY(*) which is good for most fabrics. • At the end of the cycle, feel the dried clothes. If they are damp, select MORE DRY the next time you do a similar load. If they are overdried, select LESS DRY the next time you do a similar load. • If your dryer has an end-of-cycle signal, it will sound (if selected) once the cycle is completed.

Items properly sorted by color for washing are usually properly sorted for drying. • Separate heavy fabrics (denim, towels) from light fabrics (synthetics, permanent press). • Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint takers inside out. • Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove heat-sensitive trim that can be damaged by drying. Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle. • Check garments for spots and stains left after washing. Do not tumble these items. Heat may permanently set stains. • Check pockets before drying. or metal objects can damage dryer. Do not lay these objects your dryer, they can damage finish.

Load the dryer by the amount of space items take up, not by their weight. Do not overload the dryer. Overcrowding causes uneven drying and wrinkling, and can cause items to wear out faster (because of pilling). USING FABRIC DRYER SOFTENERS Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for reducing static cling. Always follow package instructions carefully. • Put one fabric softener sheet on top of the load before starting the dryer. Do not add a fabric softener sheet after • You may need to rearrange large items (sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during a cycle to reduce bailing or rolling up. the drying cycle has started. Instant heat can cause the fabric softener to • For better tumbling action, when drying only a few small items, add one or two lint-free towels. This also prevents small lightweight items from blocking airflow. • Remove fabric softener stains by wetting the stains and rubbing them with liquid detergent or bar soap and rewash.
