Recommended hood style

acceptable.
• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.
• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Use the fewest
90° turns possible.
• Do not use vent runs longer than specified in vent length chart.
• Determine the number of elbows you will need.
Electrical: To supply the required 3 or 4 wire,
single phase, 120/240 volt 60 Hz, AC only electrical
supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical
supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a
separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the
line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. Connect to an individual branch
circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. Four inch diameter vent is required. Rigid
or flexible metal exhaust vent must be used. Do not
use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood
must be at least 12 inches from the ground or any
object that may be in the path of the exhaust.
