For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
wWArNiNg
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long
sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property
damage, injury to persons, or death.
Exhaust/Ducting:
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted
to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large
amounts of moisture will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of
the home can create a health and fire hazard.
• Use only rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal 4-inch
diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for
exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other
combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured
ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes
otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The
end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent
backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure
to clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
• Rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ducting is
recommended for use between the dryer and the
wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must be
UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition
ducting could affect drying time. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire or death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure
all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow
the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
