• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

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

• Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance with local 

codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must comply with National Fuel Gas 

Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, 

CSA B149.1.

• 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 4” rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.

• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If flexible metal 

(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be UL listed and installed in accordance 

with the instructions found in “Connecting The Dryer To House Vent” on page 6 of this 

manual. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap 

lint. These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

• Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it could be exposed to water 

and or weather.

• Dryers installed in residential garages must be elevated 18” (46 cm) above the floor.

• Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions with the 

customer).
