installing your dryer

If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure:

•The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

•That a flexible plastic duct is not used.

•To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

•The duct is not kinked or crushed.

•The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0.

This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept for future reference.

Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suffocating.

WARNING

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow obstruction.

On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air for combustion and proper dryer operation.

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 of combustible materials, casoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept Lint-Free.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or

WARNING closet.

•No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.

•WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See Exhaust information section.

•Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: 2” in front, 17” on top, 1” on either side, and 5” in the back.

•The closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in² with 3” minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A louvered door with equivalent space clearance is acceptable.
