when using it.
Safety information
• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance.
• Installation and service must be performed by
a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier.
• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.

Safety information
Safety information
• Ensure pockets are free of small, irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign material,
i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
• Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
Cautions
CAUTION
• Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close
supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
• Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying
compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.
• Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless
specifically instructed to in the user-repair instructions and you have the
understanding and skills to carry out the procedure.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless the softener or
product is recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
• 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.
• This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle
that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See
the installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
• Do not sit on top of the dryer.
• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
• 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.
Safety information
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. 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.
• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.

NOTE
* Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or galvanized steel duct.
If you integrate the dryer’s vent system with an existing exhaust system:
• Make sure the exhaust system meets all applicable local, state, and national regulations.
• Verify you are not using flexible plastic duct.
• Make sure to check for and remove all lint buildup from inside the existing ducts.
• Confirm the duct is not kinked or crushed.
• Make sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
Manometer measurements
The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column
or be less than 0. Note that these values are measured with the dryer running with a
manometer presented to the exhaust duct that connects to the dryer. The dryer tumbler
must be empty and lint filter clean.

Installation
• The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
For gas models:
• Gas is supplied properly with no 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. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Installation
Running the vent blockage test
1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door.
(If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate
results.)
2. Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the
Adjust Time and Dry level buttons for 3 seconds. “InS” appears in the dryer’s
display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the
dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
3. Press the START/PAUSE button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the
test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2
minutes. Do not open the door during the test.
4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results is displayed and the dryer
sounds a tone.
If status of the duct system is normal, “0” appears and the dryer sounds a completion
tone.
If the duct system can not exhaust properly, “CLg” appears and the dryer sounds an
alarm tone.
If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For
information about the code, see Information codes section on page 65.
• To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the POWER button to turn off your
dryer.
• During the test, if “dc” appears in the display, make sure the door is closed. If
“C1” is displayed, see if there is laundry inside drum. If there is, stop the test and
remove it. Then, start the test again.
• The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn
off. You can turn the result off immediately by pressing the POWER button.
English 35
NOTE
• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns.
The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems to the current duct system when
the dryer is installed for the first time.
• If the test result displays “CLg” (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the “Ducting
requirements” section on page 17 and the “Exhaust ducting guide” section below, and
then take proper measures to correct any problems.
If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper
procedures when testing the dryer.
• Even if the test result is normal (“0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly.
Installation
Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.
Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and
closes freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular
basis.
WARNING
• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
