For closet installation

with a door, minimum

ventilation openings in

the top and bottom of

the door are required.

Louvered doors with

equivalent ventilation

openings are acceptable.

1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan

the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or

making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

Avoid 90° turns.

2. Determine vent length.

The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:

• Type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).

• Number of elbows used.

• Type of hood.

See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent

lengths you can use.

3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.

IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart.

In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid metal or flexible metal),

find the maximum length of metal vent on the same line as the number of elbows.

Gas supply: 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 aluminum or copper tubing may be used

for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m). For lengths more

than 20 ft (6.1 m), larger tubing and a different size

adapter fitting should be used. Pipe-joint compounds

resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used. Do

not use TEFLON

†

tape. If local codes permit, it is

recommended that new flexible metal tubing, design-

certified by CSA, be used for connecting the

appliance to the rigid gas supply line. (The gas pipe

which extends through the lower rear of the

appliance has 3/8" male pipe thread.) 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.

Electrical: A 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

recommended that a separate circuit serving only

this dryer be provided.

Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside.

4" (10.2 cm) diameter heavy metal exhaust vent and

clamps must be used. DURASAFE™ venting products

are recommended. For best drying performance, rigid

metal vents are recommended. Flexible metal vents are

acceptable only if accessible for cleaning. Do NOT use

plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must be

at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object

that may be in the path of the exhaust.
