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.  
laIructions  
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be  
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.  
PROPER INSTALLATION  
This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions  
before it is used.  
Properly ground dryer to conform with all

Exhausting the dryer.  
Exhaust System Requirements  
SafeyIructions  
Use only 4(10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid metal  
duct for best performance, or flexible metal duct. Use  
approved vent hood which has swing-out dampers  
that open when the dryer is in operation. When the  
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to  
prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and  
rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a  
minimum of 12(30.5 cm) clearance between the  
vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.  
The dryer exhaust system MUST BE EXHAUSTED  
TO THE OUTSIDE.  
DO NOT allow combustible materials (for  
example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper)  
to come in contact with exhaust system.  
The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a gas vent,  
chimney, a wall, a ceiling, a common duct with a  
kitchen exhaust or any concealed space of a  
building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a  
fire hazard.  
If all rigid metal duct cannot be used, then flexible  
all-metal venting can be used, but it will reduce the  
maximum recommended duct length. See  
Additional Installation Instructions following.  
DO NOT exceed the length of duct pipe or  
number of elbows allowed in the Maximum  
Length charts. Lint can accumulate in the  
exhaust system, plugging the system and  
creating a fire hazard, as well as increasing  
drying times.

the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the  
duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as  
increasing drying times. Use an approved vent  
hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal  
all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe  
fittings MUST be installed downstream with  
the flow of air.

EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not install the dryer  
where gasoline or other flammables are kept  
or stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage,  
it must be a minimum of 18(45.7 cm) above  
the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,  
explosion, fire or burns.  
WARNING: The following are specific requirements  
for proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure  
to follow these instructions can create excessive  
drying times and fire hazards.  
DO NOT use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the  
dryer. Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust  
system and create a fire hazard and restrict air  
flow. Restricted air flow will increase drying  
times. If your present system is made up of plastic  
duct or metal foil duct, replace it with rigid or  
flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free  
of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.  
Provide an access for inspection and cleaning  
of the exhaust system, especially at turns.  
Inspect and clean at least once per year.  
Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.  
Additional Ducting Instructions  
If all rigid metal duct cannot be used, then flexible  
all-metal venting can be used, but it will reduce the  
maximum recommended duct length. In special  
installations when it is impossible to make a  
connection with the above recommendations, then  
UL-listed clothes dryer transition duct may be used as  
transition venting between the dryer and wall  
connection only. The use of this ducting will affect  
drying time.  
The following directions must be followed.  
Use the shortest length possible.  
Stretch the duct to its maximum length.  
Do not crush or collapse.  
CustomSrvice  
Never use transition duct inside the wall, flooring,  
ceiling or inside the dryer.  
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.  
If flexible transition duct is necessary, only UL-listed  
duct identified for use with clothes dryers is approved.  
Venting must conform to local building codes.

at least once a year with normal usage. The more the  
dryer is used, the more often you should check the  
exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.  
Ductwork which runs through an unheated area or  
is near an air conditioning duct should be insulated  
to reduce condensation and lint build-up.  
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must  
be equivalent to a 4dampered wall cap in regard to  
resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and  
maintenance required to prevent clogging.

Electrical Installation for Electric Dryers  
WARNING: The following are specific  
requirements for proper and safe electrical  
installation of your dryer. Failure to follow  
these instructions can create electrical shock  
and/or a fire hazard.  
of power cord to be purchased and allowing  
some slack in the cord. Refer to Electrical  
Requirements in this manual for the proper  
power cord to be purchased.  
WARNING: A UL-approved strain relief must  
be installed onto power cord. If the strain relief  
is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of  
the dryer and can be cut by any movement of  
the cord, resulting in electrical shock.  
WARNING: This appliance MUST be properly  
grounded. Electrical shock can result if the  
dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the  
instructions in this manual for proper  
grounding.  
WARNING: Use copper receptacles only.  
rdCleaing  
WARNING: DO NOT use an extension cord with  
this dryer. Some extension cords are not  
designed to withstand the amounts of  
electrical current this dryer utilizes and can  
melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire  
hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of the  
wall outlet, taking into account the length  
NOTE: Dryers operating on 208-volt power supply  
will have longer drying times than those  
operating on 240-volt power supply.  
A wiring diagram is located inside the  
control panel.  
Grounding Requirements  
DANGER: Improper connection of the  
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk  
of electric shock. Check with a licensed electrician if  
you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is  
properly grounded.  
For a permanently-connected electric dryer:  
The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded  
metal, permanent wiring system; or an  
equipment-grounding conductor must be run  
with the circuit conductors and connected to the  
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the  
appliance.  
laIructions  
Grounding must be in accordance with local codes  
and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, in  
accordance with the National Electrical Code  
ANSI/NFPA No. 70.  
For a cord-connected gas dryer:  
This dryer is equipped with a three-prong  
(grounding) plug for your protection against  
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into  
a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do  
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this  
plug.  
For a grounded, cord-connected electric dryer:  
The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of  
1
a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will  
reduce the risk of electrical shock by creating  
a path of least resistance for electrical current.  
If your dryer is equipped with a power supply  
2 cord having an equipment-grounding  
conductor and a grounding plug, the plug  
MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper-  
wired receptacle that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
