Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to propane, have a qualied person make

sure gas pressure does not exceed 13" (330 mm) water

column.

Examples of a qualied person include:

licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and

authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.

Louvered Hood

Angled Hood

Box Hood

Exhaust hoods:

■ An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and

insects from entering the home.

■ Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object

that may obstruct exhaust (such as owers, rocks, bushes,

or snow).

■ Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Elbows:

Recommended Styles:

■ 45° elbows provide better airow than 90° elbows.

Clamps:

■ Use clamps to seal all joints.

■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws

or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct

and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

Venting Requirements

VENTING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE

EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,

chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space

of a building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used

for exhausting.

■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps

may be used.

■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid

crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)

■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.

■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may

result in reduced airow and poor performance.

■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.

■ The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).

■ The length of exible metal vent used must be included

in the overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent

System Charts.”

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire

length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged

with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal

or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Charts” and, if

necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying

performance.

Special provisions for mobile homes:

Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible

portion of mobile home and must not terminate beneath the

mobile home. Terminate exhaust vent outside.

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.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best

drying performance:

■ Use the following “Vent System Charts” to determine type

of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied

in “Vent System Charts.”

Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:

■ Shorten life of dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.

Install Vent System

1. Install exhaust hood

(305 mm)

12" min.

(305 mm)

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal

exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

Vent must t over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust

hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location using

straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal

all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening

devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent,

because they can catch lint.

To determine if your model has a long vent system, refer

to the type code located on the serial number plate in the

inner door well. Example: An electric model would be DALV

– ELE – XXXXXXX-XXX. A gas model would be DALV – NAT –

XXXXXXX-XXX.

NOTE: For long vent systems, use of box/louvered hoods

will improve venting regardless of length.
