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.

flush several gallons of water into a drain or  
bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles  
such as sand and scale from clogging the dryer  
inlet valve.  
If the water supply pressure is more than 800  
kPa, a pressure-reducing valve should be  
installed.  
Periodically check the condition of the hose and  
replace the hose if necessary.  
Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling  
may result.  
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to  
reduce the risk of hose failure.  
Connect the hose to the dryer. Connect the  
water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve tightly  
by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with  
pliers.

OPERATION 35  
group Similar Items  
Check the Lint Filter Before  
Every Load  
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be  
dried with the same drying cycle.  
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting  
a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying  
time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll  
any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or  
wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly  
back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more  
information.  
Different fabrics have different care requirements, and  
some fabrics will dry more quickly than others. For  
best fabric care results, always dry fabrics with similar  
care requirements together.  
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before  
running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or  
missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in  
the dryer.  
Loading the Dryer  
WARNINg  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or  
injury to persons when using this appliance,  
follow basic precautions, including the  
following:  
Check all pockets to make sure that they are  
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and  
keys can damage both your dryer and your  
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters  
or matches could ignite, causing a fire.  
Failure to do so may result in fire, explosion, or  
death.  
Lint Filter  
Never dry clothes that have been exposed  
to oil, gasoline, or other flammable  
substances. Washing clothes will not  
completely remove oil residues. Failure to  
obey this warning may result in fire, explosion,  
or death.
