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.
. California SafeDrinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of
substances known tothe 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.
. Thisdryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
. Use only rigid metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
and use only ULapproved transition ducting between the dryer and
the home duct.
. DO NOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting
materials. Ifflexible metal (semirigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it
must be ULlisted and installed in accordance with the instructions
found in "Connecting The Dryer ToHouse Vent" on page 5 of this

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