BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Readthese instructions completely and
carefully.
•IN PORTANT- savethese instructions
for local inspector's use.
•IMPORTANT- Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer - Be sure to leave these
instructions with the customer.
• Note to Customer - Keep these instructions
with your Owner's Manual for future reference.
• Before the old dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the dryer door.
• Service information and the wiring diagram
are located in the control console.
• Do not allow children on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used
near children.
• Install the dryer where the temperature
is above 50°F for satisfactory operation of
the dryer control system.
• Product failure due to improper installation
is not covered under the Warranty.
- WARNING RISK OF FIRE
•To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation
instructions.
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in
accordance with local codes.
• This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
• Useonly rigid metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and use
only ULapproved transition ducting between the dryer and the home duct.
• DONOTinstall a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials. If
flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be ULlisted
and installed in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting
The Dryer To House Vent" on pages 4-5 of this manual. Flexible venting
materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These
conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it could be
exposed to water and or weather.
• Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions
with the customer).
NOTE: Installation and service of this drger requires basic

[] EXHAUST INFORMATION
,AWARNING -INCANADAANDINTHE
UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST
DUCT DIAMETER IS 4in (102ram). DO NOT USE
DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EX-
HAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhoust instollotion is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY.Problems due to incorrect instollotion
ore not covered by the werronty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil
transition duct and replace with ULlisted transition duct.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLEduct length and number of
bends 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 duct
length for rigid metal duct isshown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD ORWALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of
birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to
the exhaust air flow and should require little or no
maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
could cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in.aboveground level
or anyother obstruction with the opening pointed down.
SEPARATIONOFTURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft.
of straight duct, including distance between last turn and
exhaust hood.
TURNSOTHERTHAN 90°
• One turn of 45oor less may be ignored.
• Two 450 turns should be treated as one 900turn.
• Eachturn over 450 should be treated as one 900 turn.

Installation
SEALING OFJOINTS
• Alljoints should be tight to avoid leaks.The male end of
each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other
fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint.
• Ductjoints can be made air and moisture-tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors
1/4 inch per foot.
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is
near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce
condensation and lint build-up.
[] EXHAUST CONNECTION
- WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:
• This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
• Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust
duct.
• Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal
(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the
home exhaust duct. It must be installed in accordance
with the instructions found in "Connecting the Dryer to
House Vent" on pages 4-5 of this manual.
• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a
ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed
floor, or in any other concealed space of a building. The
accumulated lint could create a potential fire hazard.
• Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with
a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease
and lint creates a potential fire hazard.
• Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust
length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint,
creating a potential fire hazard.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
will cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire
hazard.
• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that
extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate
lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the
exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust
system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a
year.
There are multiple installation options.
Select the most appropriate method for
your installation situation.

RIGID METALTRANSITION DUCT
• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition
duct isrecommended.
• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing
and kinking.
UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(SEMI-RIGID)TRANSITIONDUCT
• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible
metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (KitWXO8XlO077).
• Neverinstall flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8
feet (2.4m).

Installation Instructions
• 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-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL{FOIL-TYPE)TRANSITIONDUCT
• 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 ONLYin 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 8feet
(2.4m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
