IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk 
of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or 
death.

or turn on any gas or electrical appliance.

Exhaust/Ducting:
1
 All  dryers  MUST be exhausted to the outside to 
prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from 
being blown into the room.
 Exhausting electric dryers to the outside is 
strongly recommended to prevent large amounts 
of moisture and lint from being blown into  
the room.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4” diameter 
ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for 
exhausting to the outside. USE OF PLASTIC OR 
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE 
A FIRE. PUNCTURED DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A
