WARNING-RISK OF FIRE
Read all of the following instructions before installing and using this
appliance:
• Ensure the entire dryer exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris
prior to the installation of your new laundry center. The entire exhaust system
should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal
usage. Failure to comply with cleaning your exhaust system will increase the
RISK of FIRE.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or flexible foil venting
material. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed
and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase
the risk of fire.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws,
rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust
system. NO screen or grate of any mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor
exhaust opening.
• Install the laundry center according to the manufacturer's instructions and
local codes.
• Laundry Center installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
• The electrical service to the dryer must conform with local codes and
ordinances and the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 part 1.
• The gas service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances
and the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
or in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. An
individual manual shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft. (1.83 m) of the
dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
• The laundry center is designed under ANSI Z21.5.1/CSA 7.1 or UL 2158 - CAN/
CSA C22.2 No. 112 (latest editions) for HOME USE only. This laundry center
is not recommended for commercial applications such as restaurants, beauty
salons, etc.
