INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not
exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic,
a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A
clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is
not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled
into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any
area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Do not allow combustible materials (for example:
clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT
be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling,
or any concealed space of a building which can
accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
• Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system,
or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that
extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust
system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on
the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and
creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying
times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil duct
tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed
downstream with the flow of air.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Do not install flexible plastic or flexible foil venting
material.
• If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft.
(2.4 m) duct length.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows
allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can cause
an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging
the system could create a fire hazard, as well as
increase drying times.

8
See also Clearance Requirements on the next page.
Exhaust direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing
a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust
outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through
your local parts distributor or hardware store.
Exhaust system requirements, continued
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
In installations where the exhaust system is not described
in the charts, the following method must be used to
determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the
dryer.
2Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff
(cool down) and start the dryer.
3Read the measurement on the manometer.
4The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher
than 0.75 inches of water column. If the
system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of
water column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of
water column, the system is too restrictive and the
installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could
affect the performance of the dryer:
• Only rigid metal duct work should be used.
• Venting vertically through a roof may expose the
exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase
in vent restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation and
faster accumulation of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will
cause an increase in vent restriction.
• The exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with
normal usage. The more the dryer is used, the
more often you should check the exhaust system
and vent hood for proper operation.
Install male fittings in correct direction:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General installation
1Connect the exhaust duct to the outside exhaust
system (see pages 6 through 8). Use of a 4” (102 mm)
clamp (item A) is recommended to connect the dryer to
the exhaust vent system. Use metal foil tape to seal all
other joints.
2Use a carpenter’s level to level your dryer front-to-
back and side-to-side. For front-to-back leveling, place
bottom edge of the level on the seam between the top
panel and side panel. For side-to-side leveling place the
bottom side of the level flush to the side panel.
3Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so the
dryer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable
corner-to-corner.
4Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for
the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg(s)
so the dryer sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs.
Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best
performance of the dryer.
5Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

hinge to the front panel. (Figure Above) Start by only
removing one screw per hinge. Then only loosen the
two remaining screws while firmly holding the door to
prevent damage to hinge, front panel or door. After the
remaining screws are loosened, continue to remove all.
3 Place door on a towel (front side down) to prevent
scratches to paint or window (if equipped). Remove
all four remaining long hinge screws on edge of door.
(Figure below)
