will not be covered under the warranty.
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting
will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a paid
installation or self-installed. For paid installation, call
the company that installed the vent for
adjustment.

wWARNING
Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten
drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation
Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Install your dryer in a well-
ventilated room where the temperature is always above 45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your dryer
is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more information.
