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, 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.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
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, injury to persons, or death.
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

and fire hazard.
•Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch
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 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.
•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

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
•Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the ground prong from the power
cord. To prevent injury to persons or damage
to the dryer, the electrical power cord must be
plugged into a properly grounded outlet.
•For personal safety, this dryer must be
properly grounded. Failure to do so can result
in electric shock or injury.
•Refer to the installation instructions in this
manual for specific electrical requirements
for your model. Failure to follow these

and/or a fire hazard.
•This dryer must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. Electric shock can result if
the dryer is not properly grounded. Have the
wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. Failure to follow these instructions
can create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire
hazard.
•The dryer should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate. This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

CLEARANCES
WARNING: Read all installation instructions completely before installing
and operating your dryer!
It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning
electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45 ºF (7 ºC). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the
end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile
homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
NOTE: No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
INSTALLATION LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.
A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
Venting Requirements.
A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.
(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Electrical
Requirements.
A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of
200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm)
under entire dryer. If slope is greater than 1 inch (2.5
cm), install the Extended Dryer Feet Kit. Clothes may
not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may
not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer
at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a
pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom
of the dryer.
w
The following spacing dimensions are recommended
for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for spacing
of 0 inches (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear.
Recommended spacing should be considered for the
following reasons:
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door
and floor moldings.
Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of
the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings in the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
Suggestion: There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer
of vibration from one to the other. Too much vibration, it could cause them to make noise or touch each other causing
paint damage and making even more noise.
