WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic or thin
foil ducting to exhaust the dryer.
W354
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint collectors
will cause increased static pressure. Failure to main-
tain the secondary lint system will decrease dryer effi-
ciency and may void machine warranty.

• DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or type B ducting. Rigid metal
duct is recommended.
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Be certain old exhaust ducts are cleaned before installing your
new dryer.
• Use 102 mm [4 inch] diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
• The male end of each section of duct must point away from
the dryer.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
• Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints. DO NOT use
sheet metal screws or fasteners on exhaust pipe joints which
extend into the duct and catch lint.
• Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must be insulated
to help reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls.
• Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer installations.
• In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct must be se-
cured to mobile home structure.
• Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under mobile
home.
• Dryer exhausts 220 cfm for 60 Hertz and 180 cfm for 50
Hertz (measured at back of dryer).
• DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a
wall or ceiling.
• Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be greater than 15
mm water column [0.6 inches water column] for 60 Hertz or
11 mm water column [0.4 inches water column] for 50 Hertz
measured with manometer placed on exhaust duct 610 mm
[two feet] from dryer (check with dryer running and no load).
• Exhausting dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be done by
installing 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent Kit (available as option-
al equipment at extra cost).
• Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace the air ex-
hausted by the dryer. The free area of any opening for outside
air must be at least 260 cm2 [40 in.2].
• Energy efficient buildings with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommo-
date on demand make-up air needs in the laundry room. These
devices can be obtained through your building contractor or
building material suppliers.
• Do not draw make-up air from a room containing a gas fired
water heater, a dry cleaner or a hair salon.
• Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.
NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the dry-
er (obtain locally).
Exhaust Direction
The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left,
right or bottom of the dryer. EXCEPTION: Gas dryers cannot be
vented out the left side because of the burner housing.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust.
Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be accomplish-
ed by installing a Directional Exhaust Kit, 528P3, available as
optional equipment at extra cost.
Exhaust System
For best drying results, recommended maximum length of ex-
haust system is shown in Table 2 .
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer end of
exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers (ob-
tain locally).
NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least 305
mm [12 inches] above the ground. Larger clearances
may be necessary for installations where heavy snow-
fall can occur.
