SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must _ grom'lded. In the event of
maltunction o:r breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by t)roviding a path of least :msist_mce for
electric curJ'ent. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having _mequipment-grounding couductor _md a gronnding
plug. The plug must _ plumed iuto an appropria|e ou|let
that is prot_rly installed ;rod grounded in accordalme with all
local c{_des and ordinances.
WARNING - ImprotK:r conneclion of the equipment-
gr(mnding condncmr can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service Fmrsxm if you
are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not modify" the plug provided with the appliance: if it will
not fit the ontleL have a proper outlet installed by, a qualified
electrician.
For a permanently connected appliance:
GROI1NIIING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must Nz connected to a grounded metal

Step I : Position and Level the Dryer
l:or fu_her assistance refer to section on Location
Requirements.
Place the dryer in lx)sition, and adjust the legs until the
dryer is level :fron_side: to side and fi_mt to back,
[vvel :fl_×_r: Maximum slope under emire dwcr should
not be more tlmn 2.5cm (1 inch), If slope is greater than
2.5 cm (I inch), clothes may not tumNe proFvfly and
_mtomatic sensor cycles may not ot_mte correctly if
dryer is not level,
Step 2 : Conn_t Dryer Exhaust System
For t!urther assistance refer to _ctions {m Ix)cation
Requirements and Dryer Exhaust Requirements.
• DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as
possible.
• Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing
your new dryer.
• Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal
duct.
• The male end of each section of duct must point
away from the dryer.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must
be insulated to help reduce condensation and
lint build-up on pipe walls.
• Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors,
NOTE : Venting materials are not supplit_l with the
dryer (obtain locally).

Step 3 : Conn_t Gas Supply Pi_
(Gas Dryer ONLY)
For l!u_lher assistance, relL_rto _ction on Gas
Requirements.
I. Make ceri:ain your dryer is equippvd fi_ruse with lhe
l:ypeof gas in your laundry room_ Dryer is equiplyad at
the tTml:OD,:liarNaiural Gas with a 3/8" N.P.T. g_s

2. Remove the shipping cap fix)m ihe gas connection at
ihe rear of the dryer. Make sure you do not damage the
pipe i:h:madwhen removing the cap.
3. (onnect to gas supply pipe using a new flexible
stainless sled connector.
4. Tighten all conneclious _:curely. 'l'um on gas and

Step 5: Wipe Out Inside of Dryer
Belbre using dryer for the fi_t timc, use an all-purpo_
clcancr, or a detc_Nent and water _lufion, and a damp
cloth to remove shipping dust from inside the drycr
drt|lll.
Heat Source Check
El_tric Dryers
Close the loading door and start the dryer in a heat
setting (ml_r to the ()perating Inslructions suppli_ with
the dryer). After the d_'cr has operated l;:_rfllree minutes,
the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should bc warm.
Gas Dryers
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat _tting
(rct;cr to the Operating Instructions supplied with the
dryer); the dryer will start, the igniter will glow red and
the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT : If all air is not purged out of the gas
line, the ga_sigmiter may go off before gas it is ignited.
If this happens, aher approximately two minutes the
igniter will ag_n attempt ga_ ignition.

Exhaust System Mat÷rials
A clothes dryer produces combustible
lint.
To reduce the risk of fire or gas
accumulation, the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors.
This gas appliance contains or produ_s
a chemical or chemicals which can cause
death or serious illness and which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. To reduce the risk
from fuel combustion, make sure this
appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the instructions
in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire and the
accumulation of combustion gases, DO
NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well,
gas vent, chimney or enclosed,
unventilated area, such as an attic, wall,
ceiling, crawl space under a building or
concealed space of a building.
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use
plastic or thin foil ductiong to exhaust
Exhaust system materials arc not supplied wifll the dryer.
Exhaust duct must bc lbur inches (10.2 cm) in diameter
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recolnmended. Non-comb,_stible flexible metal duct is
_mceptable. l)o not usc plastic or flfin foil ducfing,
_cause it contributes R) ix)or drying t_erl;:_rmauceand
collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.
Never install :flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a
wall _ ceiling.
DO N(YI"use sheei: mcml screws _mexhaust pit_: joints
or other filstening me,ms which extend into the:duct that
could catch lint and :reduce the efficiency of the exhaust
system. Secn:m all joints with duct tat_:.

IMPORTANT : Keep exhaust duct as short as
p_,_sble.
NOTE : Be certain old ducts are cleaned before
installing your new dryer.
For _st drying rcsults, recommended maximum length

To prevent backdrafl when duer is not in ot_.aration,

Care of Your Dryer

filter may be washed if needed, Annually remove lhe lint
filter and allach Io the wlceuum dnet under it.
O:_inarily, the dryer cylinder will need no care,
Wipe the exlerior d_Ter cabinet as needed iffdetergent,

Use only a damp cMth lbr clemfing lhe conh'ol pancl.

©ieaning lhe Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the
dryer. Clean it before or after each load. A screen
blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean
NOTE: The wiring diagram is local,,xi inside the
control panel.
i. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the
screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash
screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
[]
[]
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen ioose,
damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause
overheating and damage to both the dryer and
fabrics.
[]
Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural
fibers (polyester and cotton blends) may shed more
lint than other towels, causing your dryer's lint
screen to fill up faster. Be sure to remove lint from
the lint screen before and after drying new towels.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during
removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the
lint,
As ne_ed 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 the screen.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six
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 build up.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Completely dry lint screen with a clean towel
Replace screen in dryer.
