IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
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-inch (10,2 cm) 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.
•Exhaust air must not be
discharged into a flue which Is
used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
•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 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.
•In the appliance enclosure or in
the built-in structure, keep
ventilation opening clear of
obstruction.
•Adequate ventilation has to be
provided to avoid the back flow
of gases into the room from
appliances burning other fuels,
including open fires Do not dry
unwashed items in the tumble
dryer.
