cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. Failure to comply with cleaning
your exhaust system will increase the RISK of FIRE.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with exible plastic or exible foil venting material. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct clothes dryer airow and increase the risk of re.
• DO NOT screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other
fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. NO screen or grate of
any mesh size is allowed to cover the outdoor exhaust opening.

latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 part 1.
• The gas service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or in Canada, the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. An individual manual shuto valve must be
installed within 6 ft. (1.83 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
• The laundry center is designed under ANSI Z21.5.1/CSA 7.1 or UL 2158 - CAN/CSA C22.2

Electrical requirements
1. The laundry center MUST be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by a path of least resistance for
electrical current.
2. Since your laundry center is equipped with
a power supply cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug, the plug MUST be plugged into
an appropriate, copper wired receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/
NFPA 70 (latest edition), or in Canada, the
Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1. If in
doubt, call a licensed electrician.
DO NOT cut o or alter the grounding prong
on the power supply cord. In situations
where a two-slot receptacle is present,
it is the owner’s responsibility to have a
licensed electrician replace it with a properly
grounded three prong grounding type
receptacle.
For detailed information, refer to
the Use & Care instruction provided
with this laundry center.

drain.
2. Place the formed end in a laundry
tub or a standpipe and secure the drain
hose with the cable tie (provided in the
enclosure package) to the standpipe, inlet
hose, laundry tub, etc. so the hose does
not pull out from the force of the water.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
A U.L. approved strain relief must be

the dryer and can be cut by any movement
of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT use an aluminum wired receptacle
with a copper wired power cord and plug
(or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs
between copper and aluminum and can
cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and
receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a
copper wired receptacle.
NO screen or grate of any
mesh size is allowed to
cover the exhaust opening.
• Use only 4 inch rigid or
semi-rigid metal ducting
• Clean lint from duct system
