SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

w

WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent
property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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 metal or flexible metal 4-in.

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 in. (10 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 UL-

listed 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEAm FUNCTIONS

Do not open the dryer door during steam

flammable or explosive substances as they

give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

fire or death.

Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or

explosive substances. Failure to follow these

instructions can result in fire or death.

Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum

during or after the steam cycle. Failure to

follow these instructions can result in a burn

hazard.
