installing your dryer
If the new dryer is being installed into an existing exhaust system, you must
make sure:
• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
• That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
• To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
• The duct is not kinked 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 while the dryer is 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 filter clean.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept
for future reference.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

Locate the dryer where there is enough space at the front for loading and enough space behind for the
exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the left, use
the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It's important to make sure the room has
enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow obstruction.
For gas dryers, you must provide the clearance noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air for
combustion and proper dryer operation.
DO NOT INSTALL OR STORE THE DRYER IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO WATER AND/
OR WEATHER. KEEP THE DRYER AREA CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE LINT. THE AREA
AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

You must vent the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet.
WARNING
• No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, YOU MUST VENT THIS DRYER TO THE OUTDOORS.
See the EXHAUST INFORMATION section.
• Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:
2" in front, 17" on top, 1" on either side, and 5" in the back.
• The closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in²
with 3" minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A louvered door with equivalent space clearance is
acceptable.
