and for venting outside.
To reduce the risk of re, combustion, or
accumulation of combustible gases, 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 re, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting.
The exhaust duct must be 4-inch (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure
to clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer.
Rigid, semi-rigid or exible metal ducting is
recommended for use between the dryer and
the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must
be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition
duct could affect drying time.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other
fasteners which extend into the duct that could
catch lint and reduce the efciency of the
exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
Do not exceed the recommended duct length
limitations noted in the chart. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in extended drying
times, re or death.
WARNING
Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally.
The vent hood should have hinged dampers to
prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.
The total length of exible metal duct must not
exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).

Routing and Connecting Ductwork
NOTE
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying
performance and reduce lint buildup and
condensation in the ductwork. Ductwork and
ttings are NOT included and must be purchased
separately.
Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid, semi-rigid or
exible metal ductwork.
The exhaust duct run should be as short as
possible.
Use as few elbow joints as possible.
The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer.
Use duct tape on all duct joints.
Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas
in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup on
duct surfaces.
Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not
covered by the dryer warranty. Dryer failures or
service required because of such exhaust systems
will not be covered by the dryer warranty.

requirements including the following:
Electrical Requirements for Gas
Models Only
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded.
This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-
Hz. grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere
fuse or circuit breaker.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings could result
in serious injury
This dryer is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug.
Gas Supply Requirements
As shipped from the factory, this dryer is
congured for use with natural gas (NG). It can
be converted for use with propane (LP) gas.
Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm)
water column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water
column for LP.
A qualied service or gas company technician
must connect the dryer to the gas service.
Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply.
