WARNING

• Appliance installation must be performed by a qualified 

installer.

• Install the appliance according to these instructions 

and local codes.

• 

DO NOT

 install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting 

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.

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 

these instructions with the customer.)

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 

the following installation instructions apply:

licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified 

or licensed by the State.

• If using a ball valve, it shall be a T-handle type.
• A flexible gas connector, when used, must not 

exceed 3 feet.
