IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
w
Warning
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
w
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 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 CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
w
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
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 instructions can create an
electric shock hazard 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
sparkling performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
•
Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet.
The power cord can be damaged,
resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.
•
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
The power cord can
melt, creating an electric shock and/or fire hazard.
•
When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not
to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
This will
prevent injury and prevent damage to the dryer from
fire and electric shock.
