Be sure you read the following instructions carefully before you start to install the dryer. These instructions should be left with the home owner for future reference.
It is your responsibility to:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Adhere to these installation instructions.
Allow for spacing requirements with side by side installations (refer page 6).
Make sure you have all items necessary for correct installation.
Properly install the dryer.
Contact a qualified installer to ensure that the electrical and gas installation meets all national and local codes and ordinances.
Location requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapours, such as gasoline, away from the dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire, or burns.
The dryer must be installed or stored in an area which is not exposed to water or weather.
It is extremely important that the dryer is installed in a well ventilated location. This dryer must exhaust air outdoors. Do not install the dryer in any room or closet which does not permit the free flow of replacement air.
Before installing the dryer ensure that there is sufficient height to fully open the lid. Allow sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust. The air intake is at the rear of the dryer. Ensure that there is a sufficient air passage on each side of the dryer for intake air.
5
The area in which the dryer is located must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint so the area around the dryer must be cleaned regularly to keep it free of lint.
This dryer can only be vented from the rear and must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Alcove or closet installation
When installing a dryer in a closet/alcove it must be WARNING exhausted to the outdoors. No other fuel burning
appliance can be installed in the same closet or alcove.
The top opening area in the door must be a minimum of 48 square inches (310cm2) and the bottom opening area must have a minimum of 24 square inches (155cm2). These openings must never be obstructed (a louvred door with the minimum air opening is acceptable). Minimum installation clearances are required but more clearance is recommended.
