stainless steel, or plastic-coated brass piping for gas

supply.

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or ﬂexible metal

duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out

damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation.

When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to

prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents.

To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12

inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and

the ground or any other obstruction.

Correct Incorrect

If your present system is made up of plastic duct or

metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal

duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior

to installing dryer duct.

The following are speciﬁc requirements for

proper and safe operation of your dryer.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive

drying times and ﬁre hazards.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂexible plastic or

metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials

are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint.

These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂow and

increase the risk of ﬁre.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not

exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic,

a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A

clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is

not exhausted outdoors, some ﬁne lint will be expelled

into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any

area of the home can create a health and ﬁre hazard.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not allow combustible materials (for example:• clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in

contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT

be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,

or any concealed space of a building which can

accumulate lint, resulting in a ﬁre hazard.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system,• or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that

extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust

system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on

the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and

creating a ﬁre hazard as well as increasing drying

times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the

duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil duct

tape. All male duct pipe ﬁttings MUST be installed

downstream with the ﬂow of air.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install ﬂexible plastic or ﬂexible foil venting• material.

If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft.• (2.4 m) duct length.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows

allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can cause

an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging

the system could create a ﬁre hazard, as well as

increase drying times.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the next page.

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing

a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust

outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through

your local parts distributor or hardware store.

Exhaust system requirements, continued

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

In installations where the exhaust system is not described

in the charts, the following method must be used to

determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:

1Connect an inclined or digital manometer between

the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the

dryer.

2Set the dryer timer and temperature to air ﬂuff

(cool down) and start the dryer.

3Read the measurement on the manometer.

4The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher

than 0.75 inches of water column. If the

system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of

water column, the system is acceptable. If the

manometer reading is higher than .075 inches of

water column, the system is too restrictive and the

installation is unacceptable.

Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is

acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could

affect the performance of the dryer:

Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.• Venting vertically through a roof may expose the• exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase

in vent restriction.

Running the exhaust system through an• uninsulated area may cause condensation and

faster accumulation of lint.

Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will• cause an increase in vent restriction.

The exhaust system should be inspected and• cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with

normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the

more often you should check the exhaust system

and vent hood for proper operation.

ÍNOTE

Use of 90° quick-turn elbow required to meet minimum

installation depth of free-standing dryer:

Straight back venting allows for 0” (0 cm) installation.• Venting right with 90° elbow allows for 0.75” (2 cm)• installation.

Venting downward with 90° elbow allows for 0.75” (2• cm) installation.

Venting left with short, straight adapter and 90°• elbow allows for 3.75” (9.5 cm) installation.

Venting upward with short, straight adapter and 90°• elbow allows for 4” (10.5 cm) installation.

Install male ﬁttings in correct direction:
