Exhaust information
_WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE AND PERSONAL INJURY:
•Use only metal duct for exhausting dryer to
outdoor.
•Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, any gas
vent, under an enclosed floor (crawi space), or into
an attic. The accumulated lint could create a fire
hazard.
•Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of
the exhaust system, especially at turns. Inspect and
clean at least once per year.
•Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct
with a kitchen exhaust. A combination of lint and
grease could create a fire hazard.
•Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
Rear Exhaust Location
This dryer comes ready for rear exhausting.

5. Detach and remove the desired knockout.
6. Use standard metal elbow and duct to exhaust.
7. Cover the opening at the back with the plate pro-
vided on the back of the appliance.
ExhaustLength
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust
system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns,
the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions
noted below. The maximum allowable length for both
rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in the table below.
More than two 90 °turns are not recommended.

Do not use non metallic flexible duct.
Hood or Wall Cap
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or
entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance
to the exhaust airflow and should require little or
no maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Never install screen over exhaust duct.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above
ground level or any other obstruction with the
opening pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they
must be equivalent to a 4" dampered wall cap in
regard to resistance to airflow, prevention of back
drafts and maintenance required to prevent clogging.
Separation of Turns
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft.
of straight duct, including distance between last turn
and dampered wall cap.
Turns Other Than 90*
• One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
• Two 45 ° turns should be treated as one 90 °.
• Each turn over 45 ° should be treated as one 90 °.
Sealing of Joints
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male
end of each section of duct must point away from
the dryer.
• Do not assemble the duct work with fasteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection
point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight
by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.

Exhaust Information (cont.)
Insulation
•Ductwork which runs through an unheated area or is
near an air conditioning duct should be insulated to
reduce condensation and lint build up.

Inside Exhausting
NOTE: MOBILE HOME, BEDROOM,
BATHROOM, ALCOVE OR CLOSET
INSTALLATIONS MUST BE EXHAUSTED
TO THE OUTDOORS.
OTHER INSTALLATION: If the installation makes it
impossible to exhaust to the outdoors, a 4" exhaust
deflector (WE25X28) must be installed. A clearance
of 8" is required between rear of dryer and the wall,
and deflector should be pointing up.
NOTE: EXHAUSTING TO THE OUTDOORS IS
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. EXHAUSTING
INDOORS MAY CAUSE LINT ACCUMULATION,
AND MOISTURE DAMAGE INCLUDING MOLD
AND MILDEW.
Special Installation Requirements
Alcove or Closet Installation
• If your dryer is approved for installation in an
alcove or closet it will be stated on alabel on the
dryer back.
• The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
• Minimum clearances between dryer cabinet and
adjacent walls or other combustible surfaces are:
0" clearance either side
3" front and rear
• Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead
cabinets, ceilings, etc. is 52".
• Closet doors must be louvered or otherwise
ventilated and must contain at least 60 square
inches open area equally distributed. If this closet
contains both a washer and a dryer, doors must contain
120 square inches of open space equally distributed.
Mobile or Manufactured Home Installation
• Installation must conform to Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 32-80.
• The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors with the
termination securely fastened to the mobile home
structure. (See EXHAUST INFORMATION section).
• The exhaust MUST NOT be terminated beneath the
mobile home.
• The exhaust material MUST BE METAL.
• For Electrical Connections see "CONNECTING
DRYER USING 4-WIRE CONNECTIONS".
SERVICING:
_CAUTION:
Consideration must be given to provide adequate clearances for
installation and servicing.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation
(verify proper operation after servicing/installation).

Additional Installation Instructions
If all rigid metal duct cannot be used, then flexible all metal venting can be used,
but it will reduce the maximum recommended duct length. In special installations
when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, then
UL listed clothes dryer transition duct may be used as transition venting between
the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time.
If flexible transition duct is necessary, only UL listed duct identified for use with
clothes dryers is approved. The following directions must be followed.
•Use the Shortest Length Possible.
• Stretch the Duct to its Maximum Length.
• Do Not Crush or Collapse.
• Never Use Transition Duct Inside the Wall, or Inside the Dryer.
• Avoid Resting the Duct on Sharp Objects.
• Venting Must Conform to Local Building Codes.
