Exhaust system requirements
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 specic requirements
for proper and safe operation of your
dryer.
NOTE
For installations requiring a longer drain
hose, have a qualied technician install a
longer drain hose (according to your model
number) available from an authorized parts
distributor. For drain systems in the oor,
install a syphon break kit available from your
local hardware store.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install a clothes dryer with exible
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
airow and increase the risk of re.
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or
exible 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.
Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed
within 42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s
water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9
cm) with threading for laundry hose connection.
Water pressure MUST be between 10 psi
(0.69 bars) and 120 psi (8.27 bars). Pressure
difference between hot and cold cannot be
more than 10 psi. Your water department can
advise you of your water pressure.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust
outdoors. Prior to installing your new
dryer, inspect the outdoor exhaust opening
and remove any accumulation of lint around
the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding area.
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 ne lint
will be expelled into the laundry area. An
accumulation of lint in any area of the home
can create a health and re 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 re 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 re 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 ttings MUST be
installed downstream with the ow of air.
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 re hazard, as well as
increase drying times.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly
could result in serious injury, death, or
property damage.
DO NOT install a booster fan in the exhaust
duct.
Install ALL clothes dryers in accordance with
the installation instructions in this manual.

Exhaust direction
The laundry center may be exhausted four (4)
ways with rear ush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch
diameter [102 mm] rigid duct and 1 elbow
down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch di-
ameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down
and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch di-
ameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down
and 1 elbow right)
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:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the dryer and the point the ex-
haust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air
uff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system backpressure MUST NOT
be higher than 0.6 inches of water
column. If the system back pressure is
less than 0.6 inches of water col-
umn, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 0.6
inches of water column, the system is
too restrictive and the installation is
unacceptable.
Correct Incorrect
Install male fittings in correct direction:
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance of
the dryer:
Only rigid metal duct work should be
used.
Venting vertically through a roof may ex-
pose 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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly
could result in serious injury, death, or
property damage.
DO NOT install a booster fan in dryer
exhaust duct.
Install all clothes dryers in accordance
with the installation instructions in this
manual.

create electrical shock and/or a re hazard
Electrical installation
Grounding requirements -
Electric dryer (USA)
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a
path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4
wire power supply cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug that matches you wiring system, the
plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate,
copper wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt,
call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed
on this appliance. If it will not t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
For a permanently connected dryer:
The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system; or an
equipment grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to
the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This appliance MUST be properly
grounded. Electrical shock can result if
the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow
the instructions in this manual for proper
grounding.
DO NOT use an extension cord with this
