Elevations up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters):
• The design of this laundry center is certified by CSA
International for use at altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m)
above sea level at the B.T.U. rating indicated on the model/

required when the dryer is operated up to this elevation.
Elevations above 10,000 feet (3,048 meters):
• When installed above 10,000 ft (3,048 m) a 4% reduction of
the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial number

• The laundry center must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing at test
pressures in excess of V2psi (3.45 kPa).
• The laundry center must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing the supply line shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2psi (3.45 kPa).
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
• Do not exhaust the dryer into any gas vent, chimney, wall,
ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
• Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or
floors.
• Do not use screws or other fastening devices that extend into
the interior of the vent to secure vent.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
• Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wall-
paper, carpets, etc.
• Housecleaning problems and health problems.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and
kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when
the laundry center is in its final position. Remove excess flexible
metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced airflow and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and
insects from entering the home.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the ground or
any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as
flowers, rocks or bushes, etc.).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.
Use duct tape to seal all joints.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, this laundry center
MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
4 in. (10.2 cm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps must be
used. DURASAFE
