WARNING

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

•

Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

•

Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance

•

with local codes.
This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

•

Use only 4” rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the

•

outdoors.
DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting materials.

•

If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it must be UL listed
and installed in accordance with the instructions found in "Connecting The
Dryer To House Vent" on page 5 of this manual. Flexible venting materials
are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it could be

•

exposed to water and or weather.
Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instructions with

•

the customer).

NOTE: Installation and service of this dryer
requires basic mechanical and electrical skills.
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified
installer to make the electrical connections.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:

This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

•

Use only 4” rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.

•

•

Use only 4” rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid
or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer to the home exhaust
duct. It must be installed in accordance with the instructions
found in “Connecting The Dryer To House Vent” on page 5 of
this manual.

•

Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, gas
vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor, or in any
other concealed space of a building. The accumulated lint
could create a fire hazard.
Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with a

•

kitchen exhaust system. A combination of grease and lint
creates a potential fire hazard.
Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust length

•

table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint, creating a potential
fire hazard.
Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This will

•

cause lint to accumulate, creating a potential fire hazard.
Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that extend

•

into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate lint, creating
a potential fire hazard.
Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

•

•

Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust
system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust system shall
be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

Installation Instructions, Exhausting

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT

For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is

•

recommended.
Rigid metal transitions ducts reduce the risk of crushing and

•

kinking.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION DUCT

If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal

•

(semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).
Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other

•

enclosed spaces.

•

Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4m).

•

For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and
the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations below). Elbows
allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking and or
crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.•

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT

In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer

•

to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil- type) duct. A
UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY in
installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid)
ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be
maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.

•

In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal(foil­type) ducts that comply with the “Outline for Clothes Dryer
Transition Duct Subject 2158A” shall be used.

•

Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other
enclosed spaces.
Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet

•

(2.4m).
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

•

For best drying performance:

•

1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet
pipe.

2. Secure the duct with a clamp.

3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the
duct to its full length. Allow 2” of duct to overlap the
exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the
duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.

4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other
clamp.
