WARNING
CAUTION
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.
• 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 sources 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.
• Prevent children from playing with the dryer door to prevent risk of
caught in the door when closing it. This may result in
• Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous
condition.
• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• Certified service gas providers recommend that you purchase and install
a UL approved gas detector.

WARNING
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
• Use a 4-inch (10.2cm) diameter, rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized
steel duct.
• Do not use a smaller diameter than the 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 from internal filter before every cycle and
clean ducts periodicly.
• 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 duct 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 the 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.

Review the “Gas Requirements” section on page 14. Remove the pipe
thread protective cap.
Apply a pipe joint compound or about 11/2" wraps of teflon tape over all
threaded connections.
• The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the actions of any
liquefied petroleum gas.
Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional fitting is required
to connect the 3/4" (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to
the 3/8" (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer. Use only new AGA or CSA
certified gas supply line with SS flexible connectors within 6 ft (1.8 m) of
the dryer.
Securely tighten the gas line fitting over the threads.
Turn on the gas supply.
WARNING
• All gas installations of the dryer must be equipped with Manual Shut-
Off valve.
• Uncoated copper tubing will corrode when subjected to natural gas,
causing gas leaks. Use ONLY black iron, stainless steel, or plastic-
coated brass piping for gas supply.
• Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution.
• If bubbles appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use
an open flame to check for gas leaks.

CAUTION
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. In order to
confirm the gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
LEVEL THE DRYER
To ensure that the dryer provides the optimal drying performance, it must
be leveled. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the
floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.
• Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer.
Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to
vibrate.
• Make sure the dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and is properly
grounded.
• The exhaust ductwork is hooked up and the joints are taped.
• A plastic flexible duct CAN NOT BE USED.
• Use rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal vent material.
• The dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor.
• Gas models - the gas is turned on with no gas leakage.
• Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should be dried

example, a pair of black linen pants).
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and
drying clothes.
