WARNING: Thefollowing are specific requirements
for proper and safe operation of your dryer Failure
to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards,
DONOT useplastic flexible duct to exhaust the
dryer.Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust
system and create a fire hazardand restrict air
flow, Restrictedair flow will increase drying
times, ff yourpresent system is made upofplastic
duct ormetal foil duct, replace it with rigid or
flexible metal duct, Ensurethe present duct is free
ofany lint prior to installing dryer duct
A
EXPLOSIONHAZARD.Do not install the duer
where gasoline or other flammables are kept
or stored. If the duer is installed in a gmage,
it must be a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) above
the floor. Failure to do so can resuh in death,
explosion, fire or burns.

installations when it is impossible m make a
connection with the ab()ve recommendations, then
UL-listedclothesdryertransitionductmay be used as

Thefollowing directionsmustbe followed,
• Use the shortest length possible.
• Suetch the (h_ct to its maxinmm length,
° Do not crush or collapse.
• Never use Uansition duct inside the wall, flooring,
