SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and
follow all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word WARNING or CAUTION.
These words mean:
WARNING
You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
CAUTION
You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and
tell you what may happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING
- Risk of Fire
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
•
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

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.
•
Save these instructions.
