- Fire Hazard
WARNING
 
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a 
qualified installer.
 
Install the clothes dryer 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 installed, it must be UL-listed and 
installed in accordance with the instructions found 
in “Connecting the Dryer to House Vent” later in 
this manual. Flexible vent materials are known to 
collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These 
conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase 
the risk of fire.
 
DO NOT install or store this appliance in any 
location 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 
these instructions with the customer.)
