READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

wWARNING 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.

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.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured

by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure

in the exhaust duct can be measured with

a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct

approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not

exceed 0.6 in. (1.5 cm). The dryer should be

checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck

the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is

level front to back and side to side, and that

all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK

Once you have completed the installation of

the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm

proper operation with the following tests.

Any installation in a manufactured or mobile

home must comply with the Manufactured Home

Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR,

Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and

local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain

whether your proposed installation will comply

with these standards, please contact a service
