GE Spacemaker WSM2780 Installation Instructions Manual

WARNING –
• 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.
• This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
• Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed,
it must be UL-listed and installed in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting the Dryer to House Vent" on page
6 of this manual. Flexible ducting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

• Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions with the customer.)
• This appliance must be properly grounded and installed as described in these instructions.
CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
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.
IMPORTANT
• Exhausting the dryer to the outside
is required to prevent large
amounts of moisture, lint and other
products of combustion from being
blown into the room.
• Service information and a wiring
diagram are located in the dryer
access panel.
