SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEAM FUNCTIONS

w

warnIng

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles. Failure to

follow these instructions can result in a burn hazard.

Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they

give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Failure to follow

these instructions can result in fire or death.

Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. Failure

to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or after the

steam cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in a

burn hazard.

Do not fill the steam feeder with hot water (over 86 ˚F/30 ˚C).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in a burn hazard.

Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure to follow

these instructions can result in fire or death.

The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of

the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine

lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the

laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can

create a health and fire hazard.

Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch diameter

ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the

outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can

cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or

becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.

Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should

obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should

have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is

not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or

death.

The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with

no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as

possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing

your new dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

fire or death.

Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use

between the dryer and the wall. In special installations

when it is impossible to make a connection with the above

recommendations, a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct

may be used between the dryer and wall connection only.

The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow

these instructions can result in fire or death.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which

extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the

efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to

follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
