supplied long drain hose. (See page 20.)
WARNING

Location considerations
The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the
dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for
the rear exhaust option. To exhaust out the bottom, right or the left, use the accessory
exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. Make sure the room in which the dryer
is located has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there are no air-flow
obstructions.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water
and/or weather. The dryer area must be kept clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint. The area around
the dryer should be kept lint-free.
