WARNING
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a
qualified installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to these
instructions and local codes.
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic
venting 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" later in
this manual. Flexible vent materials are known to
collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These
conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase
the risk of fire.
• DO NOT install or store this appliance in any
location where it could be exposed to water or
weather.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow
all installation instructions.
• Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave
these instructions with the customer.)
