Recommended installation clearances (dryer only):
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of
installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances and
clearances for walls, doors, and oor moldings. Space must be
large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides
of dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door
is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.
DRYER DIMENSIONS
NOTE: Most installations require a minimum of 6" (152 mm)
clearance behind dryer for exhaust vent with elbow. See
“Venting Requirements.”

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. 4" (102 mm)
diameter vent is required. Rigid or exible metal exhaust vent
must be used. Do not use plastic or metal foil vet. Exhaust hood
must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that
may be in the path of the exhaust.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

Recommended Styles:
Acceptable Style:
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. Do not overtighten.
Damage to the coupling can result.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas. When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2" IPS. When
acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8" approved tubing may be used for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m). For lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m), larger
tubing should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used. An individual manual shutoff valve must be installed
within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
WATER (STEAM MODELS ONLY) REQUIREMENTS
Determine vent path:
■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■ Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use as few 90° turns as possible.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
■ Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent material
and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:
■ Shorten life of dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
■ 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20- amp fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is also
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this dryer be provided.
■ To supply the required 3- or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply (or 3- or 4-wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if
specied on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not
have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that may
obstruct exhaust (such as owers, rocks, bushes, or snow).
The Vent System Charts provide venting requirements that will help
achieve best drying performance.

NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside the
dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn
to the charts.
