WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

4. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Carefully follow the gas supplier's instructions.
5. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If a flexible metal (foil type) duct is
installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes
dryers. 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.
