substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially hazardous 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.
• Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects before operating.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your appliance. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid
stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Do not let children or pets climb inside the dryer drum.

Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the
closet. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must be installed no lower
than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must
be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grilles in the door or cut down the door at
the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also
acceptable.
NOTE
• There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer
of vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to
make noise or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
