Tools needed 01 INSTALLING YOUR DRYER Pliers Cutting knife Pipe wrench (gas only) Nut drivers Level Phillips Screwdriver Duct tape Wrench BASIC REQUIREMENTS Make sure you have everything necessary for the proper installation • A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. Refer to the "Electrical requirements" section on page 17. • A POWER CORD electric dryer (except for Canada). • GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet national and local codes. • The EXHAUST SYSTEM must be made of rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting. DUCTING REQUIREMENTS • Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct. • Do not use a smaller duct. • Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased accumulation of lint. • Lint should be removed regularly. • If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. A serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply. • Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces. • Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible. • Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws. • Plastic flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect the dryer operation. • Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operations, and collect lint. • The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper. • The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. • Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet. • To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch. • If the exhaust duct must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

•
A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. Refer to the “
Electrical requirements
” section on
page 17.
•
A POWER CORD electric dryer (except for Canada).
•
GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet national and local codes.
•
The EXHAUST SYSTEM must be made of rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting.
DUCTING REQUIREMENTS
•
Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
•
Do not use a smaller duct.
•
Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased accumulation of lint.
•
Lint should be removed regularly.
•
If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff
sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct
with a thin foil wall. A serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
•
Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
•
Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
•
Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
•
Plastic flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect the
dryer operation.
•
Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operations, and
collect lint.
•
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and
entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.
•
The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and
the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.
•
Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
•
To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house
or porch.
•
If the exhaust duct must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly
down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
