Installation and connection
When using your gas appliance
follow basic safety precautions
including the following:
~It is essential to read all instructions
before installing the appliance.
~Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the
gas supplier. Work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and could
void the warranty.
~In Massachusetts:
This dryer must be installed by a
licensed plumber or gas fitter.
~Before installation, disconnect the
tumble dryer from the electrical supply
by shutting off the power main,
unplugging the power cord or tripping
the circuit breaker. Do not restore
power until the installation is complete.
~GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Only
place the plug in an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
~WARNING – Improper connection of
the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
~Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance! If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
~Do not use an extension cord to
connect this appliance to the power
supply. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~This dryer must be vented outdoors
to reduce the risk of fire. Be sure to
observe local building codes.
~Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for
venting. Non-metallic flexible hose
should not be used, it is a potential fire
hazard.
