FIRE or explosion hazard Failure to follow safety warning exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: · DO NOT try to light any appliance. · DO NOT touch any electrical switch; DO NOT use
any phone in your building. · Clear the room, building or area of all
occupants. · Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. · If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
· Ensure the entire dryer exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris prior to the installation of your new dryer. The entire exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. Failure to comply with cleaning your exhaust system will increase the RISK of FIRE.
· DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
· DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. NO screen or grate of any mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor exhaust opening.
· Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
· Clothes dryer installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
· The electrical service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 part 1.
· The gas service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

· DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period).

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.

13 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD
· A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
· DO NOT exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building.
· A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
· The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors.
· Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD · DO NOT allow combustible materials
(for example: clothing, draperies/ curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
· DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. No screen, grate, or guard of any mesh size is allowed to cover the exhaust opening. Lint can become caught in the screen, grate, guard, or on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.

FIRE HAZARD Never exceed more than 4-90° elbows in the exhaust duct system. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.

if installing semi-rigid venting. · DO NOT use screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system.
Exhaust direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through your local parts distributor or hardware store.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS.

14 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

NOTE
Use of 90° quickturn elbow required to meet minimum installation depth.

· Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
· Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD DO NOT install the dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.

· The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation and that it is free of obstructions.
Manufactured or mobile home installation

In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of water column, the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Install male fittings in correct direction:

1. Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety for Mobile Homes, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to a non-combustible portion of the mobile home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this manual for other important exhaust venting system requirements.

Correct

Incorrect

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:

· Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.

5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.

· Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.

15 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Clearance requirements
IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR DRYER: 1. In an area exposed to dripping water
or outside weather conditions. 2. In an area where it will come in
contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. 3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

NOTE
To achieve an installation with 0" (0 cm) clearance for the back of the dryer (for other than straight back venting), a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed as described previously in this manual.
For other than straight back venting, a quickturn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed to achieve 0" (0 cm) installation.

Installation in a recess or closet
1. A dryer installed in a recess or closet, MUST be exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall be installed in the same recess or closet as a gas dryer.
3. Your dryer needs space around it for proper ventilation. See "Clearance Requirements" chart.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches of inlet ventilation opening to the recess or closet is required for proper air flow to the dryer.
5. Inlet air ventilation to the recess or closet can be satisfied by adding 120 square inches of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door and located 3 inches from the bottom and top of the door.
or, adding 120 square inches of ventilation openings to the top, sides or rear wall of the closet wall, if the wall is adjacent to an open room, hallway, or exterior.
or, a louvered door with equivalent air openings equaling 120 sq. inches of ventilation for the full length of the door is acceptable.
It is NOT approved to derive the 120 sq. inches of ventilation from the space between the door edges and the casing or the floor. ** The presence of forced heating and air-conditioning vent openings in the closet does NOT satisfy the 120 square inch ventilation requirement to the closet.

hazard.

dryer (USA)

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
· This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
· DO NOT use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock and/ or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the Pre-Installation Requirements section of this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
· A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
· DO NOT use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.

WARNING
Improper grounding of the dryer may cause serious injury or death. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3-wire or 4-wire power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug that matches your wiring system, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you've installed on this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dryer:
The dryer 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.

NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt power supply.

Selecting the right cycle to save energy
This dryer has been specifically designed with options to help you save energy and at the same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing.
The normal cycle was used to rate the dryer for energy efficiency. The normal cycle resets to normal temperature setting, normal dryness level.
Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat save the most energy and display the leaf icon on the console. Use the lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and less dry setting (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and prevent over drying your clothing.

Auto dry cycles
Auto dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensors sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With auto dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level.

Timed dry cycles
The timed drying cycles allow the selection of exact drying times. The time dry cycle allows the option to select drying time settings ranging from 30 to 75 minutes (depending on the model). Various drying times and temperature settings can be selected when using this cycle.

Auto dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics. When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to tumble, unheated, during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.
NOTE
Initial cycle times for auto dry cycles are only estimates, the actual drying time may differ slightly from the time displayed.
Drying times vary depending on size and dampness of the load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture

The fast dry cycles (on select models) have preset times of 15, 18 or 20 minutes (dependent on model) with a preset temperature of high only.
Dryness levels will not be an available option when using either of the timed drying cycles.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD To avoid fire hazard, DO NOT use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use the time dry cycle and the eco dry (no heat) setting.
