• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance with local
codes.
• California SafeDrinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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 LPfuels. 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.
• DONOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If flexible metal
(semirigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be ULlisted and installed in accordance
with the instructions found in "Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 5 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.

and or weather.
