WARNING RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation
instructions.

Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in
accordance with local codes.
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.
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.
