SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
Basic Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User
Guide.
3 Before use, your dryer must be properly installed as described in this guide.
4 Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment
manufacturer.
5 Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
6 Do not use your dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable
substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable
chemicals, paint thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as
mops and cleaning clothes. Flammable substances may cause the fabric to

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Exhausting requirements
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the
duct or that catch lint.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 in. (10.2 cm) in diameter.
• The total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7.8 ft. (2.4 m).
• Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use
with your dryer by the manufacturer.
• In the U.S., make sure that the ducts comply with the outline for Clothes
Dryer Transition Ducts, Subject 2158A.
See Duct requirements
on page 16 for the maximum duct length and number of
bends.
WARNING:
Do not exhaust your dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl
space, or a concealed space in a building.
Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when
installed in an alcove or closet.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside prevents large amounts of lint and
moisture from being blown into the room.
WARNING:
NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT
• If your existing duct work is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with
metal.
• Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment
of the exhaust air heat and lint.
16
www.insigniaproducts.com
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Duct requirements
Exhaust hood types
If you install your dryer into an existing exhaust system you must make
sure that:
• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
• You do not use a flexible plastic duct.
• You inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
• The duct is not dented or crushed.
• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
WARNING:
You are responsible for correctly installing the exhaust system.
• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
Do not use a smaller duct.
• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased
accumulation of lint.
• Lint should be removed regularly.
• If you must use a flexible metal duct, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall.
Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. A serious blockage can result if
the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
• Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed
spaces.
• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
• Plastic, flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend
drying times, and affect your dryer’s operation.
• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect
dryer operations, and collect lint.
• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood that has a swing-out
damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust
hood with a magnetic damper.
• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the
bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening
should point down.
• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well.
• Do not exhaust under a house or porch.
• If the exhaust duct must run through an unheated area, the duct should be
insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce
condensation and lint buildup.
• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
• Check frequently to make sure that the exhaust hood damper opens and
closes freely.
• Check once per month, and clean at least once per year.
Note: If your clothes are not getting dry, check the ducting for obstructions.
• Do not exhaust the dryer into a wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space
of a building, gas vent, or any other common duct or chimney. This could
create a fire hazard from the lint expelled by the dryer.
• Do not use non-metallic flexible ducting.
• To reduce the risk of fire, your dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

You need a 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a
30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line.
All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord
should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
Power outlet types
Using a three-wire outlet
If your outlet is a three-wire (three-prong) outlet, choose a three-wire power
supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The three-wire
power supply cord must:
• Be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long.
• Have three 10-gauge solid copper wires.
• Match a three-wire outlet of NEMA Type 10-30R.
See Step-by-step instructions
on page 22 for instructions on how to connect a
power cord to your dryer.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of your dryer may be connected
by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is UL
listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10
copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end
spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric
supply wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed
strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new
branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and
(4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor. (Use a four-prong plug for four-wire receptacles, NEMA type
14-30R.)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Using a four-wire outlet
If your outlet is a four-wire (four-prong) outlet, choose a four-wire power supply
cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The four-wire power
supply cord must:
• Be at least 4 ft. (1.22 m) long.
• Have four 10-gauge solid copper wires.
• Match a four-wire outlet of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground
conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be
identified by a white color.
See Step-by-step instructions
on page 22 for instructions on how to connect a
power cord to your dryer.
Gas requirements
Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to
use your dryer with LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and
proper performance by a qualified service technician.
A ½" (1.27cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to
the 3/8" (1cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an
accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6" of your
dryer.
Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18" (46cm) above the
floor.
• Additionally, a 1/8" (0.3cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream
of your dryer’s gas supply connection.
• Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any
pressure testing of the system.
• Your dryer must be connected to the gas supply piping with a listed flexible
gas connector that complies with the standard for connectors for gas
appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10.
DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design
certified by the American Gas Association (CGA in Canada).
• Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied
petroleum gas.
• As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
GAS IGNITION - Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner.
There is no constant burning pilot.
20
www.insigniaproducts.com
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Your dryer must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. A “T” handle
manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to the installed dryer at
the location of operation.
If a flexible gas connector is used to connect the dryer, the connector may not be
longer than 3 ft. (36 in./91.5 cm).
Grounding requirements
Your dryer must be grounded. If a malfunction or breakdown occurs, the
grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for the electrical current.
Gas models
For GAS MODELS ONLY: The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas
line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas
does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure
the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check
the exhaust for heat.
WARNING:
Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a dangerous situation.
• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• Gas suppliers recommend that you purchase and install a UL-approved gas
detector.
• Install and use it in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING:
• 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.
• Never connect the ground wire to the plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot
water pipes.

• The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the
cycle.
• Consider using a Time dry cycle.
Dryer has an
odd odor.
• Your dryer draws air from the surrounding room air. Household
odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, and so forth, may enter
your dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal. When
these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before
using your dryer.
Clothing is
still wrinkled
after using
the Wrinkle
Prevent
setting.
• Small loads of one to four items work best.
• If the dryer load is too large, items cannot tumble freely. Try
loading fewer items.
• Make sure that the items in the dryer load are similar. The Wrinkle
Prevent setting works best when the items in the dryer load are
similar-type items.
There is lint
on the
clothing.
• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Things like paper or tissue can break up into small pieces that turn
into lint.
• Clean the lint filter before every cycle. Some loads that produce
high amounts of lint can clog the filter.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (like a fuzzy white cotton towel)
and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint
trappers (like a pair of black linen pants).
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
