SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
WARNINg
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use
of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could
result in 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 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
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 ULlisted 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.
