SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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

An accumulation of lint in any area of the home may create a health and fire hazard.

• Keep 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.

• 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.
