• Properly ground dryer to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances. Follow details in the installation
instructions. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not
properly grounded.
• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as
described in this manual. Electrical shock can result if
the dryer is not properly grounded.
• Install and store the dryer where it will not be exposed
to temperatures below freezing or exposed to
the weather.
• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an
authorized service technician unless specifi cally
recommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only
authorized factory parts. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fi re, electrical shock, or death.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not install the
dryer in humid spaces. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fi re, electrical shock, or death.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized
power circuit to avoid electrical overload. Improper
power circuits can melt, creating risk of electrical shock
and/or fi re hazard.
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in fi re or death.
• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the
outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted
outdoors, some fi ne 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 fi re hazard.
• Use only rigid metal or fl exible metal 4-inch
(10.2-cm) diameter duct inside the dryer cabinet or
for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other
combustible ductwork can cause a fi re. Punctured
ductwork can cause a fi re 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 fi re or death.
• Remove all packing items and dispose of all shipping
materials properly. Failure to do so can result in death,
fi re, explosion, burns, or death.
• Place dryer at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the fl oor
for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in
fi re, explosion, burns, or death.
• Keep all packaging from children. Packaging material
can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of
suff ocation.
• Do not install near items that produce heat or open
fl ame such as stoves or cooking ovens. Failure to follow
this warning can cause product deformation, smoke and
fi re.
• Do not place candles or cigarettes on top of the
product. Failure to follow this warning can cause
product deformation, smoke and fi re.
• Remove all protective vinyl fi lm from the product.
Failure to do so can cause product deformation, smoke
and fi re.
• 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 fi
re 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 fl exible metal transition duct may be used
between the dryer and wall connection only. The
use of this ducting will aff ect drying time. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fi re or death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the effi ciency 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 fi re or death.
