To reduce the risk of fire or gas accumulation, the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

This gas appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the instructions in this manual.

To reduce the risk of fire and the accumulation of combustion gases, DO

NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well, gas vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or concealed space of a building.

To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ductiong to exhaust the dryer.

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the dryer.

Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting, because it contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.

Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

Exhaust System

IMPORTANT : Keep exhaust duct as short as possble.

NOTE : Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new dryer.

For best drying results, recommended maximum length of exhaust system is shown in Table 1.
