• Do not install the appliance in humid spaces.
•
Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing materials after the appliance is unpacked. Children might

•
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is

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.
