Closet Door
Vent Requirements
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
The following clearances are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch
(2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:
•Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
•Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. For closet
installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered
doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.
One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must be installed no lower than 6 feet
above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no
more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to
form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.
NOTE
• There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or
come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.

• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or
accumulation of combustible gases, DO
NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and
unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,
crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed
space of a building.
• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting.
• The exhaust duct must be 4-inch (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure
to clean any old ducts before installing your new
dryer.
• Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is
recommended for use between the dryer and
the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must
be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition
duct could affect drying time.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other
fasteners which extend into the duct that could
catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the
exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
• Do not exceed the recommended duct length
limitations noted in the chart. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in extended drying
times, fire or death.
WARNING
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You
should obtain the necessary ductwork locally.
The vent hood should have hinged dampers to
prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.
• The total length of flexible metal duct must not
exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).

ENGLISH
Routing and Connecting Ductwork
NOTE
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying
performance and reduce lint buildup and
condensation in the ductwork. Ductwork and
fittings are NOT included and must be purchased
separately.
• Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid, semi-rigid or
flexible metal ductwork.
• The exhaust duct run should be as short as
possible.
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas
in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup on
duct surfaces.
• Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not
covered by the dryer warranty. Dryer failures or
service required because of such exhaust systems
will not be covered by the dryer warranty.

20 INSTALLATION
Connecting the Inlet Hose
(Steam Models)
The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using
the new water supply hose. Do not reuse old hoses.
1Check the rubber seal at each end of the inlet
hoses. Two ru ber seals are supplied with each
inlet hose. They are used for preventing water
leaks. Make sure the connection to the cold
water tap is tight.
2Check the installation type.
Connect all water supply hoses tightly by hand
and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the
same faucet as a washer.
a. Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer
hose.
b. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector using
one of the rubber seals.
c. Connect the other end of the short hose to the cold
water faucet.
NOTE
• Water supply pressure must be between 20
and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa) .
• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting
the inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 800
kPa, a pressure-reducing valve should be
installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose
and replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to
reduce the risk of hose failure.
• Record hose installation or replacement dates
on the hoses for future reference.

d. Connect the long dryer hose to one side of the
Y-connector and connect the washer hose to the
other side.
WITHOUT WASHER: If the dryer does not share
the cold water tap with a washer.
a. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the
cold water faucet.
3Connect the hose to the dryer. Connect the
water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve tightly
by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with
pliers.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses
and that they are not crushed.
4Turn on the cold water faucet.
5Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and
in all hoses.
NOTE
• Before connecting the water line to the dryer,
flush several gallons of water into a drain or
bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles
such as sand and scale from clogging the dryer
inlet valve.
• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling
may result.
NOTE
• If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,
remove the hose and check the condition of the
rubber seal.
