| - "Risk of Fire"
- Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
- install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
- Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal
(foil type) duct. If flexible metal duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified
by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. 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.
- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
- Save these instructions.
