We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean: DANGER - You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not immediately follow instructions. WARNING - You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions. CAUTION - Yinstructions. ou may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what may happen if the instructions are not followed. WARNING – Risk of Fire Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes. Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire. To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions. Save these instructions. WARNING FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD 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 in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. —WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. Clear the room, building or area of all occupants. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. —Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which can cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. The power cord may be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. The power cord may melt, creating electric shock and/or fire hazard. When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This will prevent injury and damage to the dryer from fire and electric shock.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors. Warning This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages. The installation requires: A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See Venting the Dryer. A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting Electric Dryers. A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lb (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered. No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer. Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector. NOTE The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level. For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18-inch (46 cm) above the floor. The standard pedestal is 15-inch (38.1 cm). You will need 18-inch (46 cm) from the garage floor to the bottom of the dryer. Clearances Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons: Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings. Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable. Companion appliance spacing should also be considered. MFL67731070_en_170711.indd 11 2017-07-11 오후 4:05:03  12 INSTALLATION Closet Ventilation Requirements Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable. NOTE There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.

Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death. The appliance is heavy. Two or more people are required when installing the dryer. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface. If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal, NOTE you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary dryer. The dryer leveling feet should be fully retracted. to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary may cause the dryer to vibrate.
