■ Properly ground dryer to conform with all
governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
■ Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to the
weather.
■ Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
■ Remove all sharp packing items and dispose of all
shipping materials properly.
Exhaust/Ducting:
Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Exhausting electric dryers to the outside is
strongly recommended
to prevent large amounts
of moisture and lint from being blown into the
room.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4²
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.
For complete details, follow the Installation
Instructions.

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
Gas appliances can 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 can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
