Electrical: To supply the required threeor fourwire, single-phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or threeor four-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 diameter vent is required. Rigid or flexible metal exhaust vent must be used. Do Not use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust.

*Most installations require a minimum 5" (12.7 cm) clearance behind the dryer for exhaust vent with elbow.
RECESSED AREA AND CLOSET INSTALLATION
For closet installation with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent air openings are acceptable.

*Required spacing |
1.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. When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
2.Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
•The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
•The number of elbows used.
•Type of hood.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart.
In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid metal or flexible metal), find the maximum length of metal vent on the same line as the number of elbows.
