IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
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.
•Use only rigid metal or flexible
metal 4-inch (10,2 cm) 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.
•Exhaust air must not be
discharged into a flue which
Is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
•The exhaust duct must be 4
inches (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.
•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.
•In the appliance enclosure or
in the built-in structure, keep
ventilation opening clear of
obstruction.
