WARNING
RISK O FFIRE
. To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation
instructions.
. Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
. Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in
accordance with local codes.
. California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause
minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or LPfuels. Properly adjusted
dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer
to the outdoors.
. This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
. Use only rigid metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
and use only UL approved transition ducting between the dryer and
the home duct.
. DO NOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting
materials. If flexible metal (semirigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it
must be UL listed and installed in accordance with the instructions
found in "Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 5 of this
manual. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily
crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow
and increase the risk of fire.
. Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it could
be exposed to water and or weather.
. Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these
instructions with the customer).
