WARNING

RISK OF FIRE

•

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

•

Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

•

Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance with

local codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must comply with National

Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

•

This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the

state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to

warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor

exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde

and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these

substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

•
