Install the appliance 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

with clothes dryers. 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.

follow all installation instructions.
