02 INSTALLING YOUR DRYER
If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure:
• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
• That a fl exible plastic duct is not used.
• To inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
• The duct is not dented or crushed.
• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0.
This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct
connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint
fi lter clean.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept
for future reference.
Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child being trapped and
su ocating.
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-fl ow obstruction.
For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air
for combustion and the proper dryer operation.
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 fl ammable vapors and liquids. A
dryer produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint-free.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATIONS
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fi re when installed in an alcove or
closet.
• No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re, this dryer must be exhausted to the outside. Refer to “Exhausting”
section on page 14.
• Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: 2” in front, 17” on top,
1” on either side, and 5” at the back.
• The front of the closet must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area
of 72 in² with a minimum clearance of 3” at the top and bottom. A slatted door with equivalent space
clearances is acceptable.
