• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
• Install all clothes dryers in accordance with the installation instructions of the manufacturer of the dryer.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
  • Do not try to light any appliance.
  • Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Risk of Fire
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

• Keep packing materials out of the reach of children. Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation.
• Moving or installation of the appliance requires two or more people.
• This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, trailers, or aircraft.
• This appliance must be positioned near to an electrical power supply.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
• Do not install the appliance in humid spaces.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing materials after the appliance is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Place the appliance at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.
• 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.
• Use only rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal 4-inch diameter duct inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork may cause a fire. Punctured ductwork may cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
• 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.
• Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for the transition duct could affect the drying time.
• 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.
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
• 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 may create a health and fire hazard.
• Do not install near another heat source such as a stove, oven or heater.
• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
• The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
• Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electronic shock only during servicing. Service personnel – do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: CONTROL BOARD

Operation

• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• Repair or immediately replace 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.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using the appliance turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Do not put oily or greasy clothing, candles or flammable materials on top of the appliance.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, soiled with or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, vegetable oil, cooking oil or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially hazardous 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.
• Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects before operating.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your appliance. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Do not let children or pets climb inside the dryer drum.
• Do not put living animals such as pets inside the appliance.

Grounding Instructions

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• The appliance must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Electrical shock may result if the appliance is not properly grounded.
