Read all of the following instructions before installing and using this appli-
ance:
• Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the laundry center is unpacked.
Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bed-
spreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers causing suf-
focation. Place all materials in a garbage container or make materials
inaccessible to children.
• Clothes dryer installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
• Install the appliance according to the manufacturer's instructions and
local codes.
• The electrical service to the appliance must conform with local codes
and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1.
• The gas service to the dryer must conform with local codes and or-
dinances and the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1, or in Canada, CAN/ACG B149.1-2000. An individual manual
shut-off valve must be installed within 6 ft (1.83 m) of the dryer in ac-
cordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
• The laundry center is designed under ANSI Z 21.5.1 or ANSI/UL 2158 -

ing material. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily
crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow
and increase the risk of fire.
