• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. Installation instructions
are packed with the appliance for the installer's reference. If the appliance is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by qualified service personnel.
• When moving or installing the product in a different location, call two or more qualified service
personnel for installation and service.
• Do not install the appliance in humid spaces.
• Store and install the appliance where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed
to outdoor weather conditions.
• This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, trailers, or
aircraft.
• Keep packing materials out of the reach of children. Packaging material can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation.
• 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.
• The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded by qualified service personnel in accordance
with local codes.
• When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized power circuit to avoid electrical overload.
• This appliance must be positioned near to an electrical power supply.
• Disconnect the power cord, house fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing the appliance.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock from this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• Use new hoses when connecting the appliance to the water supply. Do not reuse old hoses.
• Do not install the appliance with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is
installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with
the dryer section of the appliance. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed,
and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct the dryer section's airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• Local ordinances may prohibit installation in a garage. Contact a local building inspector.
• 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 appliance 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.
• All nonrigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition duct could
affect drying time.
• Ductwork is not provided with the appliance, 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.
• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
