IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
THE SUNCOURT DRYER VENT KIT IS ONLY APPROVED
FOR INSTALLATION FOR ELECTRIC CLOTHES DRYERS.
General Warnings:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons:
1. Never use this product to exhaust hazardous or flammable materials, vapors or gases.
2. Use this product only for its designed and intended purpose.
3. When the existing vent opening to the outside of the dwelling cannot be used and a new opening is required, use caution not to
cut through pipes or wires that may be in the wall.
4. Ducted fans must be vented outdoors.
5. Whenever venting air to the outside of a dwelling, adequate provision must be made for replacement air. Without replacement air,
negative pressure may develop. This will cause a deadly situation when fuel-burning equipment is used such as gas furnaces, gas
water heaters, etc. The negative pressure will cause exhaust gases from such equipment to enter the dwelling. These gases contain
deadly Carbon Monoxide. (As a general remark, install a Carbon Monoxide detector in your home). Follow the heating equipment
manufacturers' guidelines and safety standards such as the National Fire Protection Association, the American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers and all applicable codes. If you are unsure about this matter, you must consult a
certified heating and ventilating contractor.
6. Before cleaning or performing service on your DRY04, make sure that the electricity is shut-off and make provisions to prevent
accidental turning-on of power such as locking the service panel or attaching a very prominent warning sign on the service panel.
7. The fan impeller of your DRY04 is powerful enough to cause serious injury if contacted. Appropriate safety precautions must be
taken during installation, servicing and operation.
8. Qualified individuals must do the installation and wiring in accordance with all applicable codes & standards including fire rated
construction.
