- 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 or flexible metal (foil type) duct. If
flexible metal 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.
- Save these instructions.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items
■
contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the
risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble
dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid
stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle
unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the
heat is dissipated.
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
■
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, drycleaning
solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Risk of Suffocation and Injury from Entrapment: Do not allow
■
children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove
■
the door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the
■
weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Do not use replacement parts that have not been
■
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home
using a 3D printer).
IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
The dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt
■
any servicing unless specially recommended in this Use
and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
■
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
■
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
Clean lint screen before or after each load.
■
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
■
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
■
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation
■
instructions for grounding instructions.
WARNING: Risk of Fire. Do not install a booster fan in the
■
exhaust duct.
NOTE: The booster fan warning does not apply to clothes
dryers intended to be installed in a multiple clothes dryer
system, with an engineered exhaust duct system that is
installed per the clothes dryer manufacturer's guidelines.
