Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer. ,_ Warning: 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. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil Ducting. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
