Installation Instructions
Where to put your dryer
Check local codes before choosing a location. Some codes do not permit installation in a
garage, closet, mobile home or bedroom. DO NOT install the dryer in an area where
gasoline or other flammable materials are kept or stored.
When operating the dryer, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of
gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

The front of the dryer has adjustable height feet, use these to level the dryer after fitting
into its final position.
Exhaust Ducting
The ducting system for the dryer must be as short and straight as possible and with as few
elbows as possible. Four-inch rigid metal ducting should be used. Metal flexible ducting
can be used but the maximum length of ducting if using this type will be reduced and
bends in the duct will reduce this length further. Never use plastic ducting. All elbow must
also be a minimum of 4 inch in diameter. Joints must be secured with duct tape.
Do not use screws as lint can collect on the screws.
