WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
■Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45ºF (7ºC)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).
■Is the dryer located in a closet?
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The rear of the dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm) of airspace, and the sides and front of the dryer require a minimum of 1" (2.5 cm). See the Installation Instructions.
■Has the Air Fluff modifier been selected?
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being dried. See “Modifiers.”
■Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the load to tumble freely.
