installer.
• Install the appliance 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

materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and
increase the risk of fire.

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
