WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
Read all the following instructions before installing and using this appliance.
• Ensure the entire dryer exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris prior to
the installation of your new dryer. The entire exhaust system should be inspected
and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. Failure to comply
with cleaning your exhaust system will increase the RISK of FIRE.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other fas-
teners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. NO screen or grate of any
mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor exhaust opening.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
• Clothes dryer installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agen-
cy or the gas supplier.

latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 part 1.

edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada, the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. An individual manual shutoff valve must be in-
stalled within 6 ft. (1.83 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.

tions such as restaurants, beauty salons, etc.
