SAFETY INFORMATION
Risk of Fire
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
Install clothes dryer according to the manufacturers instructions and local codes.
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 us 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.
Connect to individual branch circuit.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and grounded in accordance with all local
