WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
• 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 LP fuels. 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 NOT install 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).
