WARNING
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• Appliance installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• Install the clothes appliance according to these instructions and in accordance with local
codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must comply with National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1.
• California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act.
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the
state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. 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.
• This appliance must be exhausted to the outdoors.
• Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the appliance to the outdoors.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If flexible metal
(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be UL listed and installed in accordance
with the instructions found in "Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 8 of this
manual. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint.
These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it could be exposed to water
and or weather.
