WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation the dryer MUST be
exhausted to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk of fire and the
accumulation of combustion gases, DO
NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well,
gas vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated
area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl
space under a building or concealed space
of a building.
WARNING
This gas appliance contains or produces a
chemical or chemicals which can cause
death or serious illness and which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. To reduce the risk from substances in
the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure
this appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the instructions in
this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use
plastic or thin foil ducting to exhaust the
dryer.
To reduce the risk of fire, the exhaust duct
and weather hood MUST be fabricated of a
material that will not support combustion.
Rigid or flexible metal pipe is recommended
for a clothes dryer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased
static pressure, we do not recommend
installation of in-line secondary lint filters
or lint collectors. If secondary systems
are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
