- Fire Hazard
WARNING
• 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.
•
DO NOT
install or store this appliance in any location
where it could be exposed to water or weather.
• 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.)
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
the following installation instructions apply:
• Installation must be performed by a qualified or
licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified
or licensed by the State.
• If using a ball valve, it shall be a T-handle type.
• A flexible gas connector, when used, must not
exceed 4 feet.
