RISK OF FIRE

• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

‡&ORWKHVGU\HULQVWDOODWLRQPXVWEHSHUIRUPHGE\DTXDOL¿HGLQVWDOOHU

• Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance with local 

codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must comply with National Fuel Gas 

Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation 

Code, CSA B149.1.

• 

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.

• This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

• Use only 4” rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.
