IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation and connection

When using your gas appliance follow basic safety precautions including the following:

~It is essential to read all instructions before installing the appliance.

~Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and could void the warranty.

~In Massachusetts:

~Before installation, disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical supply by shutting off the power main, unplugging the power cord or tripping the circuit breaker. Do not restore power until the installation is complete.

~GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In

the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Only place the plug in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

~WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

~Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance! If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

~Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

~This dryer must be vented outdoors to reduce the risk of fire. Be sure to observe local building codes.

~Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for venting. Non-metallic flexible hose should not be used, it is a potential fire hazard.
