Installation* for Frigidaire Laundry Center *Please refer to the Use & Care instruction booklet provided with this laundry center for further details. TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with the customer. WARNING - RISK OF FIRE • Ensure the entire dryer exhaust system is clean and free of lint and debris prior to the installation of your new laundry center. The entire exhaust system should be inspected and 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 flexible plastic or flexible foil venting material. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire. • 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. • Install the laundry center according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes. • Laundry Center installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. • The electrical service to the dryer must conform with local codes and ordinances and the 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 shutoff 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 No. 112 (latest editions) for HOME USE only.

WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can cause an electrical shock that may result in serious injury or death. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. 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 equipmentgrounding 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 off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord.
