SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
•
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the ground prong from the power
cord.
To prevent personal injury 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 electrical 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 electrical shock
hazard and/or a fire hazard.
•
This dryer must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. Electrical 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 electrical 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 the best 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
electrical 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 electrical 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
electrical shock.

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-in.
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 in. (10 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 STEAM FUNCTIONS
•
Do not open the dryer door during steam
cycles.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in a burn hazard.
•
Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
•
Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
•
Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum
during or after the steam cycle.
Failure to
follow these instructions can result in a burn
hazard.
