WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is
installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with
clothes dryers. 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.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION:
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any
material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed
in the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not turn on the appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
