WARNING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
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.
• A carpet must not obstruct the openings.
•
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.
•
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.
•
In the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, keep ventilation opening clear of
obstruction.
•
For appliances with type Y attachment, if the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
• The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance are
to be used and that old hose-sets should not be
reused
• That the appliance must not be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge
on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in
such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer
door is restricted.
