• Properly ground the dryer to conform with all governing

codes and ordinances. Follow details in the installation

instructions. Electric shock can result if the dryer is not

properly grounded.

• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as

described in this manual. Electric shock can result if the

dryer is not properly grounded.

• Install and store the dryer where it will not be exposed

to temperatures below freezing or exposed to

the weather.

• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an

authorized service technician unless speciﬁ cally

recommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only

authorized factory parts. Failure to follow this warning

can cause serious injury, ﬁ re, electric shock, or death.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the

dryer in humid spaces. Failure to follow this warning

can cause serious injury, ﬁ re, electric shock, or death.

• Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized

power circuit to avoid electrical overload. Improper

power circuits can melt, creating risk of electric shock

and/or ﬁ re hazard.

• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure

to follow these instructions can result in ﬁ re or death.

• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the

outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted

outdoors, some ﬁ ne 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 ﬁ re hazard.

• Use only rigid metal or ﬂ exible metal 4 inch diameter

duct inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the

outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork

can cause a ﬁ re. Punctured ductwork can cause a ﬁ re

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 ﬁ re or death.

• Remove all packing items and dispose of all shipping

materials properly. Failure to do so can result in ﬁ re,

explosion, burns, or death.

• Place the dryer at least 18 inches above the ﬂ oor for

a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in ﬁ re,

explosion, burns, or death.

• Keep all packaging from children. Packaging material

can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of

suﬀ ocation.

• Do not install near items that produce heat or open

ﬂ ame such as stoves or cooking ovens. Failure to follow

this warning can cause product deformation, smoke and

ﬁ re.

• Do not place candles or cigarettes on top of the

product. Failure to follow this warning can cause

product deformation, smoke and ﬁ re.

• Remove all protective vinyl ﬁ lm from the product.

Failure to do so can cause product deformation, smoke

and ﬁ re.

• 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 ﬁ re 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 ﬂ exible metal transition duct may be used

between the dryer and wall connection only. The

use of this ducting will aﬀ ect drying time. Failure to

follow these instructions can result in ﬁ re or death.

• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners

which extend into the duct that could catch lint and

reduce the eﬃ ciency 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 ﬁ re or death.
