WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or explosion
· Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked,
or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any
material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids
or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these
flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
· There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such
as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
· Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated
foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
CAUTION
· Do not sit on top of the dryer. · Because of continuing product
improvements, Crosley
reserves the right of change specifications without notice. For complete
details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your product before
selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning installation.
· Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal
or solid things.
· Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. · Do not
place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may
contain significant amounts of these oils.
· Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for
spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or
cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat source such as your dryer can warm these
items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur.
· Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of
items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.
· Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in door when closing
it. This may result in injury.
· Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous
situation.
· Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. · Gas suppliers recommend you
purchase and install a UL approved
gas detector.

WARNING The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
· Use a 4-inch (10.2cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized
steel duct.
· Do not use smaller diameter than recommended diameter duct. · Ducts larger
than 4 inches (10.2cm) in diameter can result in
increased accumulation of lint and changes in performance
· Lint should be removed regularly from internal filter every cycle and
from ducts.
· If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet
metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. A serious
blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
· Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other
concealed spaces.
· Keep the exhaust duct as straight, short as possible, minimum elbows ·
Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws. · Plastic flexible ducts can
kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow,
extend drying times, and affect the dryer operation.
· Exhaust systems longer than recommended 90 ft can extend drying
times, affect machine operations, and collect lint.
· The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out
damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood
with a magnetic damper.
· The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of clearance
between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood
opening should point down.
· Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet. · To avoid lint buildup, do
not exhaust the dryer directly into a window
well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.
· If the exhaust duct must run through an unheated area, the duct
should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce
condensation and lint buildup.
· Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a
year. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
· Check frequently to make sure the exhaust hood damper opens and
closes freely.
· Check once per month, and clean at least once per year. NOTE:
If your clothes are not getting dry, then check the ducting for obstructions.
· Do not exhaust the dryer into a wall, ceiling, crawl space, or
concealed space of a building, gas vent, or any other common duct or chimney.
This could create a fire hazard from the lint expelled by the dryer.

CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the installation. Consider
installing the dryer and washer side-by-side, to allow access to the gas,
electrical, and exhaust connections. Place two of the carton cushion-tops on
the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position. 3. Risk of Fire. Do not
install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
INSTALL THE EXHAUST SYSTEM
1. Review the “Exhausting Requirements” section on before installing the
exhaust system.
2. Install the ductwork from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end
of the duct sections must point away from your dryer.
3. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling the ducting. 4. These joints
should be taped. 5. Never use plastic flexible exhaust material. 6. Tip for
tight installations: install a section of the exhaust system onto
your dryer before putting it in place. 7. Use duct tape to secure this section
to your dryer, but do not cover the
ventilation slots at the back of the unit in dryer cabinet. 8. The rear
surface of appliances which, according to the instructions,
shall be placed against a wall.

Problem The unit is noisy.
Clothes are unevenly dried.
Shuts off before load is dry. The unit has a special odor.
Odors remain in clothing after refresh Garments still wrinkled after
Wrinkleprevent Lint on clothes
Solution
· Check the load for objects such as coins, loose
buttons, nails, broken zips, etc. Remove promptly.
· It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating
element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
· Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in
the installation instruction.
· It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high
velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
· Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may
not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected
dryness level. This is normal. Select the Extra Dry setting if desired.
· If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load,
such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be
completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness
level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
· Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few
towels and restart the cycle.
· Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and
restart the dryer.
· Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong
cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with surrounding room air. This is normal
as the dryer draws the air from surrounding air space of the dryer locations.
· When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room
completely before using the dryer.
· Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed
utilizing desired wash cycle.
· Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best. · Load fewer garments. Load similar-
type garments.
· Clean lint filter before every cycle. · Some fabrics are lint producers (for
example, a
fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes
that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of lack linen pants).
· Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. · Check pockets
thoroughly before washing and
drying clothes.
