INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 6.7 Cu. Ft. Front-Load Electric and Gas Dryers Installing in an alcove, closet, or wall insert/recessed WARNING: • You must exhaust your dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed any place inside the house. • Do NOT install another fuel-burning appliance in the same closet as your dryer. For information about how to select and install exhaust ducts, see Exhausting requirements on page 11. If you install your dryer in an alcove, closet, or wall insert/recessed, the front of the closet must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 sq.in. (465 sq.cm) with a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.6 cm) at the top and bottom. A slatted door with equivalent space clearance is acceptable. Minimum clearances between your dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: • Either side: 1 in. (2.5 cm) • Rear: 5 in. (12.7 cm) • Top: 24 in. (61 cm) • Front: 2 in. (5.1 cm) 48 in.² 310 cm² 3 in. 7.6 cm 24 in.² 155 cm² 3 in. 7.6 cm Exhausting requirements WARNING: Do not exhaust your dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space in a building. Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet. Exhausting the dryer to the outside prevents large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room. WARNING: NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT • If your existing duct work is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal. • Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of the exhaust air heat and lint. • Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the duct or that catch lint. www.insigniaproducts.com 11
