3 Installation Instructions
AWARNING - Risk of fire
•The clothes dryer (“appliance‘) installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
•Install the appliance according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
•Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials.

Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct the clothes dryer’s airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
