For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances and
clearances for walls, doors, and oor moldings. Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open. Add spacing on all sides of
dryer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.

Drain System
Drain system can be installed using a oor drain, wall standpipe,
oor standpipe, or laundry tub. Select method you need.
Floor standpipe drain system
Minimum diameter for a standpipe drain: 2" (51 mm). Minimum
carry-away capacity: 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. Top of standpipe
must be at least 39" (991 mm) high; install no higher than 96"
(2.4 m) from bottom of washer/dryer. If you must install higher
than 96" (2.4 m), you will need a sump pump system.
Wall standpipe drain system
See requirements for oor standpipe drain system.
Floor drain system
Floor drain system requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number
285834), 2 Connector Kits (Part Number 285385), and an
Extension Drain Hose (Part Number 285863) that may be
purchased separately. To order, please see toll-free phone
numbers in your Use and Care Guide. Minimum siphon break:
28" (710 mm) from bottom of washer/dryer. (Additional hoses
may be needed.)
Laundry tub drain system
Minimum capacity: 20 gal. (76 L). Top of laundry tub must be
at least 39" (991 mm) above oor on 27" models, or 34" (864 mm)
above oor on 24" models; install no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from
bottom of washer/dryer.
IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 4.5" (114 mm)
of drain hose should be inside standpipe or below the top of
wash tub. Secure drain hose with shipping strap or plastic strap.

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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

Recommended Styles:
Acceptable Style:
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. Do not overtighten.
Damage to the coupling can result.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Gas supply: This dryer is equipped for use with Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas. When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2" IPS. When
acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8" approved tubing may be used for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m). For lengths over 20 ft (6.1 m), larger
tubing should be used. Pipe-joint compounds resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used. Must include 1/8" NPT minimum plugged tapping
accessible for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas connection to the washer/dryer. An individual manual shutoff valve must be
installed within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
WATER (STEAM MODELS ONLY) REQUIREMENTS
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.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
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.
■120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20- amp fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is also
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this dryer be provided.
■It is your responsibility 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 specied 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.
■Do not use an extension cord.
■Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
■Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that may
obstruct exhaust (such as owers, rocks, bushes, or snow).
The Vent System Charts provide venting requirements that will help
achieve best drying performance.

to the charts.
