situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing,
maintaining, or operating your dryer.
Always contact your manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

death.
Follow the information in this manual to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or
to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or
any other appliance.
CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury or
property damage.

• 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.
