INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings. Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing allowed.
- Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
- Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
- Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
- For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilations openings are acceptable.
- Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
INSTALL LEVELING LEGS
Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay dryer down on back cardboard corner posts.
IMPORTANT: If laying dryer on its back, use the cardboard corner posts the dryer was packed with to avoid damaging the back of the dryer.
Using a wrench and tape measure, screw leveling legs into leg holes until bottom of foot is approximately 1" (25 mm) from bottom of dryer. Now stand the dryer on its feet. Slide the dryer until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

DRYER CARE
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum
1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
OR
Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified appliance servicer or ventilation system cleaner.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
Style 1
1. Pull the lint screen straight up and out. Press tab down on front and open lint screen. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
Style 2
1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
As-needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen in dryer.
CHANGING THE DRUM LIGHT (ON SOME MODELS)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the back wall of the dryer. Using a 1/4" (6 mm) nut driver or socket wrench, remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner of the cover. Remove the cover.
CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
GOOD AIR FLOW
Along with heat, dryers require good air flow to efficiently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions. The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good air flow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce air flow and dryer performance
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer. To clean or repair venting, contact a venting specialist.
MAINTAIN GOOD AIR FLOW BY:
- Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
- Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
- Use the shortest length of vent possible.
- Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air flow.
- Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
- Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final product check.
- Clear away items from the front of the dryer
NON-USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE
Steam models only: Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.
Non-Use or Storage Care
If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
Moving Care
