it will be stated on a label on the dryer back. The installation
must conform to the following specifications:

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT
RIGID METALTRANSITION DUCT
• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is
recommended.
• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing and
kinking.
UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLE METAL(SEMI-RIGID) T RANSITIONDUCT
• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible met-
al (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4 m).
• For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer
and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations below).
Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking
and or crushing the transition
duct, maximizing drying
performance.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT
• In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the
dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil- type) duct.
A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct may be used ONLY
in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid)
ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be
maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.
• In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal (foil-
type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes Dryer
Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be used.
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4 m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
For best drying performance
1 Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to
its full length. Allow 2" of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe.
Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as
possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.
NOTE TO INSTALLER - AFTERINSTALLATIONCHECK
THE FOLLOWING:
[] EXHAUSTDUCT- Must meet specs on page 3. No excessive
turns. No kinks or obstructions to air flow.
[] EXHAUSTHOOD - Should work freely and open downward.
[] GROUNDING- Dryer must be properly grounded to conform to
local codes and ordinance requirements.
[] OPERATION - Turn dryer on and check for heat.
[] HAND CUSTOMER THE OWNER'SMANUAL - Give instructions on
operating the dryer - Answer any questions.
[] GIVETHESEINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS to the customer.
WHEN INSTALLED IN MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOMES
Dryer must be exhausted to the outside. Exhaust MUST NOT be
terminated beneath mobile home. Exhaust material MUST NOT
support combustion. Installation MUST conform to Manufactured
Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,Part 32-80
or when such standard is not applicable, the American National
Standard of Mobile Homes, ANSI/NFRA No. 501B-1977. For electrical
connection, see "Connecting dryer using 4 wire connection".
USE OF CASTERS (120V PORTABLE MODELS ONLY)
For a portable installation screw castersinto the holes on the bottom of the
dryer.Referto the "Installation Instructionsfor caster assembly"sheetto
installcasters.
