Recommended hood styles
Dryer only

Angled hood style is
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: This dryer requires a 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 (10.2 cm) diameter vent is
required. Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent
must be used. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from
the ground or any object that may be in the path of
the exhaust.
Water: The dryer must be connected to the cold
water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old
hoses. Do not over tighten. Damage to the coupling
can result.
