To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, injury to persons, or death.

Exhaust/Ducting:

•Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

•The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.

•Use only rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal 4-inch diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.

•Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally.The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

•The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions.The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new

dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

•Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a ULlisted flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only.The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

•DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
