Installation spacing for recessed area
or closet installation
All dimensions show recommended and minimum spacing
allowed.
■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, oor
moldings, and dryer venting.
■Additional spacing 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.
■Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. 4" (102 mm)
diameter vent is required. Rigid or exible metal exhaust vent
must be used. Do not use plastic or metal foil vet. Exhaust hood
must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that
may be in the path of the exhaust.
The Vent System Chart provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.
NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn inside the
dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn
to the chart.
Determine vent path:
■Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
■When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
■Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■Use as few 90° turns as possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
■Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specied will:
■Shorten life of dryer.
■Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
