Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
•
Do not crush or collapse ductwork.
Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire or death.
• Do not allow ductwork to rest on or contact sharp
objects.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
•
If connecting to existing ductwork, make sure it
is suitable and clean before installing the dryer.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
• Venting must conform to local building codes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
•
Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or
death.
•
Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid or flexible metal
ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting
outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or
accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT
exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated
area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space,
chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a
building. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer
with plastic or thin foil ducting.
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 semirigid 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.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
•
To maximize operating results, please observe
the duct length limitations noted in the chart next
page.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fire or death.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. 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 total length of flexible metal duct shall not
exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m)
