DRYER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING - ...i.kof

- Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

- Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

- Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal (foil type) duct. if flexible metal duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified

by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will

obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

- Save these instructions.

iMPORTANT."The gas installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1iNFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. The dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National

Electrical Code, ANSIiNFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

- WHAT TO DO iF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance. = Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants. e Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's

instructions.

= if you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell. Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.

For more information, contact your gas supplier. If a gas leak is detected, follow the "What to do if you smell gas" instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the dryer. [] Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to

a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

[] Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry- cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.

[] Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door to the drying compartment.

[] Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. [] Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed

to the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

[] Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt

any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user=repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

[] Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

[] Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

[] Clean lint screen before or after each load. [] Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

[] The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be

cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation

instructions for grounding instructions.

in the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:

[] installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by

the State of Massachusetts.

[] if using a ball valve, it shall be a T-handle type. [] A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

"Assistance or Service" section of the "Use and Care Guide".

Gas supply connection requirements

There are many methods by which your gas dryer can be connected to the gas supply. Listed here are some guidelines

for two different methods of connection.

Option I (Recommended Method) Flexible stainless steel gas connector:

Special provisions for mobffe home instaffations: The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion

of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path:

[] Select route that will provide straightest and most direct

path outdoors.

[] Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns. [] When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room

as possible.

[] Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. [] Use as few 90 ° turns as possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance:

[] Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent material

and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified

will:

[] Shorten life of dryer.

[] Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.

The Vent System Chart provides venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.
