_This isthe safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you or others. All safety messages will
be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or "WARNING ". Thesewords 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 identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the
instructions are not followed.

Foryour 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 loss of life. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquid in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Readall of the following instructions before installing and using this appliance.

• Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the Laundry Center is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plasic sheets can become airtight chambers causing suffocation. Placeall materials in a

garbage container or make materials inaccessible to children.
Installations must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or license by the state,

province, or region where this appliance is being installed.

Before beginning installation, carefully read these instructions. Thiswill simplify the installation and ensure the Laundry Center
is installed correctly and safely. Leave these instructions near the Laundry Center after installation for future reference.
The electrical serviceto the Laundry Center must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, or in Canada, the Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1.

The gas serviceto the Laundry Center must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Fuel

GasCode ANSI Z223.1, or in Canada, CAN/ACG B149.1-2000.

The Laundry Center isdesigned under ANSI Z 21.5.1 or ANZl/UL 2158 - CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 112 (latest editions) for HOME
USEonly. This Laundry Center is not recommended for commercial applications such as restaurants or beauty salons, etc.

Do not install a Laundry Center with flexible plastic venting materials. Flexibleventing materials are known to collapse, be

easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
Your safety and the safety of others isvery important. We have provided many important safety messages in the
Installation Instructions / Use & Care Guide and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

The instructions in this manual and other literature included with this dryer are not meant to cover every possible condition and

situation that may occur. Good safe practice and caution MUST be applied when installing, operating and maintaing any

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.

WARNING- Risk of Shock. Appliance grounded to neutral

conductor through a link. Grounding through the neutral link is
prohibited for (1) New branch circuit installations (2) mobile
homes; (3) recreational vehicles; and (4) areaswhere local codes

do not permit grounding through the neutral, (1) disconnect the
link from the neutral, (2) use grounding terminal or lead to
ground appliance in accordancewith localcodesand (3)connect

neutral terminal or lead to branch circuit neutral in usual manner
(if the appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use
4-conductor cord for this purpose). USECOPPERCONDUCTOR

POWER SUPPLY CORD -The gas laundry center is equipped
with a 120 volt 3-wire power cord.

NOTE: For installations requiring a longer drain hose, have a
qualified technician install a longer hose, PIN 134049201,
available from an authorized parts distributor. Fordrain systems
in the floor, install a siphon break kit, available from your local

hardware store.

Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible

metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out

damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. Toavoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

The following are specific requirements for

proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow

these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.

Do not install a dothes dryer with flexible

plastic venting materials. If your present system is made up

of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace itwith a rigid or flexible
metal duct. 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. Ensure the

present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer

duct.

L

Do not allow combustible materials (for

example: dothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be

exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed
space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire

hazard.

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number

of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can

cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging
the system could create a fire hazard, aswell as increase drying

times.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent

system, nor use any screws, rivets or other fastening means

that extend into the duct and catch lint to assemble the
exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the

screwsor rivets,clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard
aswell as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct
tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUSTbe installed downstream

with the flow of air.

Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer

where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If

the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18
inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in

death, explosion, fire or burns. The exhaust systembackpressure
MUST not exceed 0.6 inches (1.52 cm) of water column,
measured with an inclined manometer at the point the exhaust
connects to the dryer. The exhaust system should be inspected
and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal
usage. The more the dryer is used, the more often you should
check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.

- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer must be

exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a

wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space

of a building A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the
dryer is not exhausted outdoors some fine lint will be expelled
into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the

home can create a health and fire hazard. The dryer must be
connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the

outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding

area.

The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the
type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust hood.

The maximum length for both rigid and flexible duct is shown in
the chart below.

then sideways).
An exhaust hood positioned

to line up with the dryer
