Proper installation is the responsibility of the owner.
HOWEVER, SERVICE CALLS PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF POOR SET-UP, ADJUSTMENT AND
CONNECTION ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER.
Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation.
1. GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. See Electric Requirements.
2. POWER CORD for electric dryers (except Canada).
3. GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet National and Local Codes.
4. EXHAUST SYSTEM - must be rigid metal or flexible stiff walled metal exhaust ducting. See Exhaust Requirements.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL
THE DRYER. THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD
BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED
APPLIANCES SUCH AS DRYERS TO AVOID THE
DANGER OF A CHILD SUFFOCATING.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The dryer should be located to permit adequate
room in front for loading the dryer, and sufficient
room behind the dryer for the exhaust system.
This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To
exhaust out the bottom or left side, use the acces-
sory exhaust kit (see Accessories). Instructions are
included with the kit.
It is important to make sure the room has adequate
make-up air. The area where the dryer is located must
not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilating air.
On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the
data plate must be maintained to insure adequate
air for combustion and proper operation of the dryer.
THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR
STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE
EXPOSED TO WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE
DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR AND FREE
FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE
AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE
LINT. THE AREAAROUND THE DRYER SHOULD
BE KEPT FREE OF LINT.

led in a closet shall

have a minimum of 36 square inches. These open-
ings must not be obstructed. (Louvered door with
uivalent air opening is acceptable.)
CLOSET DOOR

Minimum installation clearances. If possible, more
clearance is recommended.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must
conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 {formerly
the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280), 1975} for the
United States,) or CSA Standards Z240 (for Canada).
When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions
for anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made.
An anchor bracket kit is available with instructions
(see Accessories). Locate in an area that has
adequate make up air. A minimum of 25 square
inches of unobstructed opening is required.
All mobile home installations must be exhausted to
the outside with the exhaust duct termination
securely fastened to the mobile home structure,
using materials that will not support combustion.
The exhaust duct may not terminate beneath the
mobile home. See the section on exhausting for
more information.
EXHAUSTING
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent
large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown
into the room.
In the United States:
• all gas dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• electric dryers located in a confined area
such as a bedroom, bathroom, or closet
must be exhausted to the outside.
• electric dryers not located in a confined area
may be exhausted to the inside (see nonex-
hausted installations).
In Canada:
• all gas and electric dryers must be exhaust-
ed to the outside.
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
• refer to local codes.
_,WARNING WARNING- plastic or nonmetal
flexible duct presents a potential
fire hazard•
NEVER USE PLASTIC OR NON-
METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, nonmetal or
combustible, replace it with metal. Use only metal
exhaust duct that will not support combustion to
insure the containment of exhaust air, heat and lint.
Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce
air flow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation.
USE A MINIMUM OF 4-INCH DIAMETER RIGID
ALUMINUM OR RIGID GALVANIZED STEEL
DUCT. Do not use smaller duct. Ducts larger than
4 inches in diameter can result in increased lint
accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned
regularly. If flexible metal duct must be used, use
the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use
flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage
can result if flexible metal duct is bent too sharp.
Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceil-
ings or other concealed spaces.
