To the installer
The correct installation of the dryer is your responsibility.
Be sure you read the following instructions carefully before you start to install the dryer. These
instructions should be left with the home owner for future reference.
It is your responsibility to:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check code requirements. Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in
garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Adhere to these installation instructions.
Allow for spacing requirements with side by side installations (refer page 9).
Make sure you have all items necessary for correct installation.
Properly install the dryer.
Contact a qualified installer to ensure that the electrical and gas installation meets all national
and local codes and ordinances. (See page 4).

Failure to do so can result in death, expbsion, fire, or burns,
The dryer must be installed or stored in an area which is not exposed to water or weather.
It is extremely important that the dryer is installed in a well ventilated location. This dryer must
exhaust air outdoors, Do not install the dryer in any room or closet which does not permit the
free flow of replacement air.
The free area of any opening for the introduction of outside air shall not be less than twice the
area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
Before installing the dryer ensure that there is sufficient height to fully open the lid. Allow
sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust The air intake is at the rear of the dryer. Ensure
that there is a sufficient air passage on each side of the dryer for intake air.

Installation instructions
Mobile home installation
The installation of the dryer in a mobile home must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 {formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24 HUD (Part 280), 1975} for the United States or
Standard CAN/CSA - Z240MH for Canada.
When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor must
be made.
A Mobile Home anchoring installation kit is available with instructions (see Accessories page 7).
Locate in an area that has adequate outside make up air (a minimum of 72 square inches of
unobstructed opening is required).
Mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outdoors with the exhaust duct
termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not
support combustion.
The exhaust duct must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Seethe section on exhausting
for more information (refer to page 12).

Fire Hazard
The dryer must be vented to the outdoors,
Use rigid or thick wall flexiMe meta_ exhaust duct on_y,
Do not use a p_astic exhaust duct,
Do not use a meta_ foil exhaust duct,
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire,
The dryer exhaust must be vented to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and
moisture in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.
Exhaustducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Never use plastic or metal foil flexible duct. This ducting can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce
airflow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation.
A minimum of 4 inch (100 ram) thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanised metal duct must be
used. Using ducts larger than 4 inches (100 ram) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.
In Canada, the exhaust duct must be 4.02 inches (102 ram) in diameter.
Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation, Thick wall flexible metal
ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the
duct and cause blockages.
Useduct tape to securejoints. Do not use screwsor any other fastening device which will
extend into the duct, as they will collect lint.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these installation instructions. The total length of flexible metal duct used
should be no longer than 94.5 inches (2.4 m).
Do not vent the dryer into anyother duct, chimney or gasvent becauseaccumuhted lint and
other material is a potential fire hazard.Do not vent the dryer into any ceiling, attic, crawl space,
under--floorspace,wall cavity, window well or anyother
concealed cavitythat will accumulate lint.
Fit an exhaust hood with a swing--out damper to the outside
end of the exhaust duct to prevent back drafts and entry of
wild life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper.
The hood should have at least 12 inches (S05 ram) 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.

nsta ation instructions
Choose a 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 (rigid duct) or making turns (thick wall flexible metal duct), allow as much
room as possible. With thick wall flexible metal duct bend duct gradually to avoid kinking and
avoid 90_turns.
Fig. 12 Duct configurations
Maximum length of exhaust duct
The maximum length of the exhaust duct system depends upon:
The type of ducts (rigid or thick walled flexible metal).
The number of elbows or bends used.
Refer to the exhaust duct length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum duct
lengths you can use. Do not use duct runs longer than specified in the exhaust duct length
charts (refer to page 15).
Exhaust duct systems longer than specified will:
Accumulate lint creating a potential fire hazard.
Shorten the life of the dryer,
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and an increased energy usage.

Determine the number of elbows/bends you will need.
S
In the column listing the type of metal duct you are using (rigid or thick wall flexible metal), find
the maximum length of metal duct on the same line as the number of elbows/bends to be used
(refer to page 15),
