Installation requirements
Read through the following instructions before installing the dryer and keep this manual
for future reference.
WARNING
The control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of
electric shock only during servicing.
Service personnel - Do not contact these parts while the appliance is energized.
Key installation requirements
• A grounded electrical outlet.
• A power cord for electric dryers (except
in Canada).
• Gas lines (for gas models) that must
meet national and local regulations.
• An exhaust system made of rigid metal
or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust
ducting.
WARNING
Remove the door from all discarded
appliances to prevent a child from
suffocating.
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 the rear exhaust option. To
exhaust out the bottom, right or the left,
use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions
are included with the kit. Make sure
the room in which the dryer is located
has enough fresh air. The dryer must
be located where there are no air-flow
obstructions. For gas dryers, adequate
clearance must be maintained as noted
on the data plate to ensure adequate
air for combustion and the 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 must
be kept clear of combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint.
The area around the dryer should be kept
lint-free.
