Dryer Safety - Whirlpool WCD5090JW Owner's Manual

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These
words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING —
− 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.
