these instructions can result in fire or death.
• Do not allow ductwork
to rest on or contact sharp
objects.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• If connecting
to existing
ductwork,
make sure it is
suitable
and clean before installing
the dryer. Failure

to local building
codes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire

• Use only 4-in. (10-cm) rigid or flexible
metal
ductwork
inside the dryer cabinet and for venting
outside.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion,
or
accumulation
of combustible
gases, DO NOT
exhaust
dryer air into an enclosed
and unventilated
area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space,
chimney, gas vent, or concealed
space of a
building.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in fire or death.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust
the dryer
with plastic or thin foil ducting.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.

with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be
kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any
old ducts before installing your new dryer. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is recommended
for use between the dryer and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a
connection with the above recommendations,
a UL-listed flexible
metal transition duct may
be used between the dryer and wall connection
only. The use of this ducting will affect drying
time. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fire or death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners
which extend into the duct that could catch lint and
reduce the efficiency
of the exhaust
system.
Secure
all joints with duct tape. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
• To maximize
operating
results,
please observe the
duct length limitations
noted in the chart below.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire
or death.
• Ductwork
is not provided
with the dryer. You should
obtain the necessary
ductwork
locally. The end cap
should
have hinged dampers
to prevent backdraft
when the dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
