WARNING RISKOFFIRE

. 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 SafeDrinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of
substances known tothe state to causecancer,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.

. Thisdryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
. Useonly rigid metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet

and use only ULapproved transition ducting between the dryer and
the home duct.

. DO NOTinstall aclothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting

materials. Ifflexible metal (semirigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it
must beULlisted and installed in accordance with the instructions

found in"Connecting The Dryer ToHouse 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 orstore this appliance in any location where it could

be exposed to water and or weather.
