Installation Instructions

CONNECTING THE DRYER

TO HOUSE VENT

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT

• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is

recommended.

• Rigid metal transitions ducts reduce the risk of crushing and

kinking.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID TRANSITION DUCT

• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed exible metal

(semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).

• Never install exible metal duct in walls, ceilings, oors or

other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of exible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet

(2.4m).

• For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer

and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations below).

Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking

and or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying

performance.

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects. UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE

METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT

• In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the

dryer to the house vent using a exible metal (foiltype) duct.

A UL-listed exible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY

in installations where rigid metal or exible metal (semi-rigid)

ducting cannot be used AND where a 4” diameter can be

maintained throughout the entire length of the transition

duct.

• In Canada and the United States, only the exible metal(foil-

type) ducts that comply with the “Outline for Clothes Dryer

Transition Duct Subject 2158A” shall be used.

• Never install exible metal duct in walls, ceilings, oors or

other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of exible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet

(2.4m).

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

• For best drying performance:

1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer

outlet pipe.

2. Secure the duct with a clamp.

3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the

duct to its full length. Allow 2” of duct to overlap the

exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep

the duct as straight as possible for maximum airow.

4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other

clamp.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

• If your dryer is approved for installation in an alcove or closet,

it will be stated on a label on the dryer back.

• The dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors. See the EXHAUST

INFORMATION section.

• Minimum clearance between dryer cabinet and adjacent

walls or other surfaces is:

0 in. either side

3 in. front and rear

• Minimum vertical space from oor to overhead cabinets,

ceiling, etc. is 52 in.

• Closet doors must be louvered or otherwise ventilated and

must contain a minimum of 60 sq. in. of open area equally

distributed. If the closet contains both a washer and a dryer,

doors must contain a minimum of 120 sq.in. of open area

equally distributed.

• The closet should be vented to the outdoors to prevent gas

pocketing in case of a gas leak in the supply line.

• No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the same

closet with the dryer.

MOBILE OR MANUFACTURED HOME INSTALLATION

• Installation must conform to the MANUFACTURED HOME

CONSTRUCTION & SAFETY STANDARD, TITLE 24, PART 32-80

or, when such standard is not applicable, with AMERICAN

NATIONAL STANDARD FOR MOBILE HOME, NO. 501B.

• The dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors with the

termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure.

(See EXHAUST INFORMATION section 6.)

• The vent MUST NOT be terminated beneath a mobile or

manufactured home.

• The vent duct material MUST BE METAL.

• KIT 14-D346-33 MUST be used to attach the dryer securely to

the structure.

• The vent MUST NOT be connected to any other duct, vent, or

chimney.

• Do not use sheet metal screws or other refastening devices

which extend into the interior of the exhaust vent.

• Provide an opening with a free area of at least 25 sq. in.or

introduction of outside air into the dryer room.

BATHROOM OR BEDROOM INSTALLATION

• The dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors. See EXHAUST

INFORMATION section 6.

• The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
