California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancet; birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customeps of potential exposure

to such substances. G_ksappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,

formaldehyde and soot, caused p_imarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP flmls.

_-_Immediatelycall yourgas supplierfrom

a neighbor'sphone.Follow thegas supplier'sinstructionscarefully.

[] If you cannotreach yourgassupplier,call

the fire department.

Apply these products away from the d_yeL The

fabric may then be washed and d_ied nommlly. Damage to your d_yer caused by these products is

not covered by your warmnb,:

The LintScreen: Clean file lint screen before each

use. Lint buildup in the screen restricts air flow,

which causes longer diTing times. The screen is

locamd at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace

the screen.

A waxy buildup may form on file lint screen flom

using dITer-added fabdc softener sheets. To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy

water. DtT thoroughly and replace. Do not operam

the d_Ter without the lint screen in place.

TheExhaust Duct:Inspect and clean the exhaust

ducting at least once a year to prevent cloggdng. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the drying

time.

Follow these steps:

[7] urn off electrical supply by disconnecting the

plug from the wall socket.

[_-] Disconnect the duct flom the dryeL

[j] acuum the duct with the hose attachment and

reconnect the duct.

TheExhaustHood:Check flom the outside that the

Installation Instructions

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or ent W

of birds or other wildlifb.

• Termination should present minimal resistance to the

exhaust airflow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed

down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

• For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last mrn and dampened wall cap.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away fl'om the dryer.

• Do not assemble tile ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection

point for lint.

• Duct joints should be made air- and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or aluminum tape.

• Horizontal r/lilS should slope down towards the outdoors 1/4" pet" foot.

INSULATION

• Ductwork that runs fllrough an unheated area or is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

Incorrect

.LkWARNING To reduce the risk of fire or

personal injury:

• Tiffs clothes dD,er must be exhausted to tile outdoors.

• Use only 4" rigid metal ducfing for tile home exhaust duct.

• Use only 4" rigid metal or UIAisted flexible metal (semi- rigid or foil-type) duct m commct tile d_yer m tile home

exhaust duct. It must be installed in accordance wifll tile insnucfions found in "Connecting the D_yer m House

• Do not mmfinam exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, gas vent, crmd space, attic, under an enclosed floo_; or in any other concealed space of a building. 12

./k WARNING

• Never mmfinate file exhaust into a common duct with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of

grease and lint creams a pomnfial fire hazard.

• Do not use duct longer than specified in tile exhaust length ruble. Longer ducts can accumulate lint,

creating a potential fire hazard.

• Never install a screen in or over tile exhaust duct. Tiffs will cause lint m accumulate, creating a pomnfial

fire hazard.

• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasmneIs that

exmnd into tile duct. These fasmners can accumulam

lint, creating a pomnfial fire halard.

• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted all

• Provide ml access for inspection mid cleaning of the

s}smm shall be inspecmd mid cleaned at least once a yem.

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO

HOUSE VENT

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT

• For best drying per%rmmlce, a rigid metal transition duct is recommended.

• Rigid metal trmlsition ducts reduce file risk of crushing and kinking.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLEMETAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION DUCT

• If rigid metal duct cmmot be used, fllen UIAisted flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cml be used

(Fdt X_K08X10077).

• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors

or other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed

8 feet (2.4 m).

• For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations at

right). Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall

without kinking and/or crushing the trmlsition duct,

maximizing drying performance.

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLEMETAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT

• In special installations, it may be necessai y to connect

tile dtyer to tile house vent using a flexible metal

(fbil-_,pe) duct. A Ul:listed flexible metal (fbil-_'pe) duct

may be used ONEY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cmmot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be maintained throughout the

entire length of the transition duct.

• In Cmlada mid the United States, only the flexible metal (fbil-_,pe) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes

Dryer Trmlsifion Duct, Subject 2158A" shall be used.

Installation Instructions

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT (CONT.)

• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of flexible metal duct should not

exceed 8 feet (2.4 m).

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

• For best drying perfbrmance:

1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.

2. Secure the duct with a clamp.

3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend tile duct to its full length. Allow 2" of duct to overlap tile exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.

4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.

EXHAUST DUCTING LENGTH

The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of eve_T year with nomml usage. The more the d_Ter is used, the more often you should check the exhaust

system and vent hood for proper operation.

• DO NOT assemble the duct work with fasteners that

extend into the duct. They will serve as collection points for lint.

• Insulation - Ductwork which runs through an unheated area or is near an air conditioning duct should be

insulated to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
