IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A RNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions ,including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
•
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this
Owner's Manual.
•
Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as described in this
manual.
•
ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment
manufacturer.
•
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
•
Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any
flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine
oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing
wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning clothes. Flammable
substances may cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.
•
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
•
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
•

•
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless it is specifically recommended in the user
maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
•
Keep the area underneath and around your appliances clear and free
from combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
•
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
•
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). Avoid stopping a tumble
dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
•
Unplug the dryer if the machine is to be left for an extended period
of time, such as during vacations.
•
Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of
suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
•
Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign objects before
loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.
•
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product
manufacture.
•
Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
•
Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas
free from lint, dust, and dirt.
•
The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified service personnel.
•
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.
•
This appliance must be grounded. See "Electric Requirements" and
"Grounding" in the "OPERION REQUIREMENTS" section.
•
This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power
cord into a receptacle that is not grounded adequately and in
accordance with local and national codes. Refer to installation
instructions for grounding this appliance.
•
Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects
and foreign material, i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could
damage your dryer.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber like - materials.
•
Risk of Suffocation and Injury from Entrapment: Do not allow children to
play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the appliance is used near children.
•
Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by
the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
A RNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion
•
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked,
or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode.
Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or
flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all
traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been
removed.
•
There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such
as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid
household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax
removers.
•
Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting.
Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances,
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
0 CAUTION
•
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
•
Because of continuing product improvements, Midea America
reserves the right of change specifications without notice. For
complete details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your
product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning
installation.
•
Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal
or solid things.
•
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
•
Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these
items may contain significant amounts of these oils.
•
Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for
spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable
oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat source such as your dryer
can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to
occur.
•
Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these
kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire
hazard.
•
Take care that children's fingers are not caught in door when closing
it. This may result in injury.
•
Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous
situation.
•
Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
•
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved
gas detector.

A RNING
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
•
Use a 4-inch (10.2cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized
steel duct.
•
Do not use smaller diameter than recommended diameter duct.
•
Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2cm) in diameter can result in
increased accumulation of lint and changes in performance
•
Lint should be removed regularly from internal filter every cycle and
from ducts.
•
If a flexible metal duct must be used, 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, short as possible, minimum elbows
•
Secure joints with aluminum tape. Do not use screws.
•
Plastic flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow,
extend drying times, and affect the dryer operation.
•
Exhaust systems longer than recommended 90 ft can extend drying
times, affect machine operations, and collect lint.
•
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with 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 (30.5cm) 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 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, then 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 duct.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED
OUTDOORS.
•
Exhaust duct must not be connected or secured with screws or other
fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct.
Exhausting Requirements
A RNING
•
The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an
attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.
•
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire
when installed in alcove or closet.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and
moisture from being blown into the room.
A RNING
NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT
If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it
with metal before installation this appliance
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure
containment of the exhaust air heat, and lint.
Refer to the "Ducting Requirements" section on page 13 for the
maximum duct length and number of bends.
•
All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
•
Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that
extend into the duct and catch lint.
•
The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (102mm) in diameter.
•
The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 7.8 feet
(2.4 meters).
Gas Requirements
Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE
ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI
2223.1/NFPA 54, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED SES), OR THE
NURAL GAS AND PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE, CSA B149.1, LATEST
REVISION (FOR CANAD.
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 1/2" (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to
connect to the 3/8" (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas
Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be
installed within 6" (15,24 cm) of your dryer.
