WARNING
- Risk of Fire
• 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
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily
crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct
dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• 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.)
WARNING
This dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors.
Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.
DO NOT use any plastic to vent the dryer, this
includes the home exhaust duct, dryer transition
duct, or within the dryer.
DO NOT use flexible metal or metal foil ducting for a
home exhaust duct or within the dryer.
DO NOT exhaust into a chimney, kitchen exhaust,
gas vent, wall, ceiling, attic, crawl space, or
concealed space of a building.
DO NOT install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
DO NOT install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
NOTE: The booster fan warning does not
apply to clothes dryers intended to be installed
in a multiple clothes dryer system, with an
engineered exhaust duct system that is installed
per the clothes dryer manufacturer's guidelines.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
