qualified installer.
•
Install the clothes dryer according to these
instructions and local codes.

venting materials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or

in “Connecting the Dryer to House Vent” later in

collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These
conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase
the risk of fire.

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow
all installation instructions.
