SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Exhaust/Ducting:
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in fire or death.
• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted
to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large
amounts of moisture will be expelled into the
laundry area. An accumulation of
lint in any area of the home can create a health and
fire hazard.

diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for
exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other
combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured
ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes
otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The
end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent
backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• The exhaust duct must be 4 in. (10.2 cm) in diameter
with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be
kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any
old ducts before installing your new dryer. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• Rigid or semi rigid metal ducting is recommended for
use between the
dryer and the wall. In special installations when
it is impossible to make a connection with the
above recommendations, a UL-listed flexible metal
transition duct may be used between the dryer and
wall connection only. The use of this ducting will
affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in fire or death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure
all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow
the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
