WARNING
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. In the absence of local codes, installation must comply with National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
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 4” rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.
•
DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If flexible
•
metal (semi-rigid 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 6 of this manual. Flexible ducting 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).
In the state of Massachusetts, installation must be performed by a qualified
or licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by the state.
