•  Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in 

accordance with local codes.

•  California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
    This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of 

substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other 

reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of 

potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause 

minor exposure to four of these 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.

•  This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

•  Use only rigid metal 4” diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet 

and use only UL approved transition ducting between the dryer and 

the home duct.
