A WARNING - 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. If flexible metal (foil type) 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.
