INSTALLING THE DRYER

●  

DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting.

●  

Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as
possible.

●  

Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing
your new dryer.

●  

Use 4” (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or flexible metal
duct.

●  

The male end of each section of duct must point
away from the  dryer.

●  

Use as few elbows as possible.

●  

Use duct tape on all duct joints.

●  

Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must
be insulated to help reduce condensation and
lint build-up on pipe walls.

●  

Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void
warranty.

NOTE : Venting materials are not supplied with the
dryer (obtain locally).

Place the dryer in position, and adjust the legs until the
dryer is level from side to side  and front to back.

Level floor : Maximum slope under entire dryer should
not be more than 2.5cm (1 inch). If slope is greater than
2.5 cm (1inch), clothes may not tumble properly and
