SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR INSTALLATION (cont.)
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.
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 metal or flexible metal 4in.
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.
• Rigid or semi rigid metal ducting is
recommended for use between the dryer
and the wall. In special installations when
it is impossible to make a connection
with the above recommendations, a UL-
listed flexible metal transition duct may
be used between the dryer and wall
connection only. The use of this ducting
will affect drying time.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer,
and you should obtain the necessary
ductwork locally. The end cap should
have hinged dampers to prevent back
draft when the dryer is not in use.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• The exhaust duct must be 4 in. (10 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.
• 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. ¶U For complete details,
follow the Installation Instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
