Warning -
To reduce the risk of fire or
personal injury:
•
This appliance must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.
•
•
Use only 4" rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid or
foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the home exhaust
duct. It must be installed in accordance with the
instructions found in "Connecting the Dryer to the House
Vent" on page 8 of this manual.
•
Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,
gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor, or in
any other concealed space of a building. The accumulated
lint could create a potential fire hazard.
•
Never terminate the exhaust in a common duct with a
kitchen exhaust system. The combination of grease and
lint creates a potential fire hazard.
•
Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust
length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint, creating a
potential fire hazard.
•
Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This will
cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire hazard.
•
Do not assemble the ductwork with fastener that extend
into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate lint,
creating a potential fire hazard.
•
Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
•
Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the
exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust
system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a
year.
This dryer is equipped with rear exhausting. If space
is limited, use the instructions in section 9 to exhaust
directly from the sides or bottom of the cabinet.

Leveling and stabilizing the appliance
1
Carefully move the appliance to its final location.
Gently rock the appliance into position. It is important not to
damage the rubber leveling legs when moving the appliance
to its final location. Damaged legs can increase appliance
vibration. It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the
floor to help move it into place.
Note: Do not use washer cover to lift the unit.
To ensure the appliance is level and solid on all four legs, tilt
2
the appliance forward so the rear legs are off the ground.
Gently set the appliance back down to allow the rear legs to
self adjust.
3
With the appliance in its final position, place a level on top
of back part of the washer lid and check it side to side, then
check front to back. Screw the front leveling legs up or down
to ensure the appliance is resting solid on all four legs (no
rocking of the appliance should exist), turn the lock nuts on
each leg up toward the base of the unit and tighten with
a wrench.
Note: Keep the leg extension at minimum to prevent excessive
vibration. The farther out the legs are extended, the more the unit
will vibrate.
