INSTALLATION
WARNING - Risk of fi re.
Install the clothes dryer according to the
manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with fl exible plastic
venting materials. If fl exible metal (foil type) duct is
installed, it must be of a specifi c type identifi ed by
the applience manufacturer that is UL approved for
use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials
are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap
lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer
airfl ow and increase the risk of fi re.
To reduce the risk of of severe injury or death, follow
all installation instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
DRYER PLACEMENT
The dryer can be either free standing or installed onto
a washing machine.
The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in a
very small room, as the drying process may be longer
due to limited amount of available air.
Do not place the dryer in a room where
temperature can drop below 0 °C, as the machine
may not operate correctly at such low temperatures,
or freeze, which in turn can result in damage to the
machine.
Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and
a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C.

To reduce the risk of fi re, this appliance must
be exhausted OUTDOORS or the equivalent. Never
cover the end of the dryer stub or exhaust duct with
anything to catch lint, except for UL approved vent
basket.
Connecting to a ventilation duct
You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch ridged
metal exhaust duct. If a fl exible duct is used, it must
comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition
Duct. Subject 2158A and maximum length of 2.4 m
(8 feet).
The more bends and the longer the duct, the
less air will circulate through the machine, which
will impede drying performance. We recommend
that you cut off any excess exhaust duct and run the
duct with as few bends as possible. And make any
necessary bends as gentle as possible.
Maximum duct length of 60 feet. A maximum
of 4 elbows may be used, but 4 feet of duct must
subtracted from the total vent length for every 90°
elbow used.
To connect the exhaust duct to a ventilation
outlet, follow the steps below:
1. Connect the exhaust duct to a ventilation exhaust
fi tting or to a discharge through the wall.
2. Secure the duct joint to the outlet stub on the
machine.
3. Run the duct with as few bends as possible to the
point of discharge.
Ventilation grill (not
supplied with machine)
This appliance shall not be exhausted into a
chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space
or a concealed space of a building. Only a rigid or
fl exible metal duct shall be used for exhausting. Only
a metal ventilation grill shall be used. If the duct is
taken to a wall outlet, a ventilation grill shall be fi tted
to prevent reverse fl ow of cold air. Fit the ventilation
grill to the outside of the wall.
When installing in warm climates (77° F and
above) with high humidity levels, do not route the air
exhaust duct upwards.
Examples of installations
subtract 4 feet for
every 90° elbow
Avoid:
• very long exhausting systems
• too many corners
• tight corners
These reduce effi ciency and increase time and
energy consumption.
