Fire Hazard

installer.
• Install the appliance according to these instructions
and local codes.

materials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is

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
