WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not install in a garage.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

If installing a gas dryer:

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■Check code requirements: Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

■Make sure that lower edges of the cabinet, plus the back and bottom sides of the dryer, are free of obstructions to permit adequate clearance of air openings for combustion air. See “Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions” below for minimum spacing requirements.

NOTE: The dryer must not be installed in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions

This dryer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. For recessed area and closet installations, minimum clearances can be found on the serial tag on the dryer.

The installation spacing is in inches and is the minimum allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation, servicing, and compliance with local codes and ordinances.

If closet door is installed, the minimum unobstructed air opening in the top and bottom is required. Louvered doors with equivalent air openings are acceptable.

The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

No other fuel-burning appliance may be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
