IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Installation
•
Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
•
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
•
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in
your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical reaction that could
cause a load to catch fire.
•
Properly ground the dryer to conform with all
governing codes and ordinances. Follow the
details in the installation instructions. Electric shock
may result if the dryer is not properly grounded.
•
Before use, the dryer must be properly installed
as described in this manual. Electric shock may
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
authorized service personnel unless specifically
recommended in this Owner’s Manual. Use only
authorized factory parts. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the dryer in humid spaces. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
•
Connect to a properly rated, protected, and
sized power circuit to avoid electrical overload.
Improper power circuits may melt, creating electric
shock and/or fire hazard.
•
Remove all packing items and dispose of all
shipping materials properly. Failure to do so may
result in burns, fire, explosion, or death.
•
Place the dryer at least 18-inch above the floor
for a garage installation. Failure to do so may
result in burns, fire, explosion, or death.
•
Keep all packaging from children. Packaging
material can be dangerous for children. There is a
risk of suffocation.
•
Do not install near another heat source such
as a stove, oven or heater. Failure to follow this
warning may result in product deformation, smoke,
or fire.
•
Do not place candles, smoking materials, or other
flammables on top of the product. Dripping wax,
smoke, or fire may result.
•
Remove all protective vinyl film from the
product. Failure to do so may result in product
damage, smoke, or fire.
•
Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Failure to follow these instructions may 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 may
create a health and fire hazard.
•
Use only rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal 4-inch
diameter duct inside the dryer cabinet or for
exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other
combustible ductwork may cause fire. Punctured
ductwork may cause 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 may
result in fire or death.
•
The exhaust duct must be 4-inch (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
may result in fire or death.
•
Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is
recommended for use between the dryer and
the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct
must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for
transition duct could affect drying time. Failure
to follow these instructions may 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
may result in fire or death.
