the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires

businesses to worn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances con 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 con be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to theoutdoors.

•Thisdryer must beexhausted to the outdoors.

• Useonly 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.

• DO NOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials, tf flexible metal (semi-rigidorfoil-type) duct isinstalled, it must beULlistedand installedin accordance

with the instructionsfound in "Connecting TheDryerTo HouseVent"on page 6 of this

manual. Flexibleventing materials ore known to collapse,be easily crushed, and trap lint.Theseconditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

[_ EXHAUST CONNECTION

WARNING -TOREDUCETHE

RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

, This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the

outdoors.

. We recommend that you install your dryer before

installing your washer. This will permit direct access

for easier exhaust connection.

Useonly 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.

Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer

to the home exhaust duct. It must be installed

in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 6 of

this manual.

Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under on

enclosed floor, or in any other concealed space of a building. The accumulated lint could create a

potential fire hazard. Never terminate the exhaust into o common duct

with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of

grease and lint creates a potential fire hazard. Donot use duct longer than specified in the exhaust

length table. Longer ducts con accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.

This will cause lint to accumulate, creating a

potential fire hazard. Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners

that extend into the duct. These fasteners con

accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard. Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

Provide on access for inspection and cleaning of

the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.

Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once year.
