Note to Customer -  
ions with your Use and Care Book for  
future reference.  
Before the old dryer is removed from  
service or discarded, remove the dryer  
door.  
• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If  
flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be UL listed  
and installed in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting The  
Dryer To House Vent" on page 5 of this manual. Flexible venting materials  
are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will  
obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.  
Keep these instruct-  
Service information and the wiring dia-  
gram are located in the control console.  
Do not allow children on or in the appli-  
ance. Close supervision of children is  
necessary when the appliance is used  
near children.
