, WAR

• 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. In

the absence of local codes, installation must comply with National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSAB149.1.

• Ca/ifom/a Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and
soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LPfuels. Properly
adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be

minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting the clothes dryer to the outdoors.
DONOTinstall 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 6 of this manual. Flexible
ducting 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).

In the state of Massachusetts, installation must be performed bg a qualified or
licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by the state.

[63 EXHAUST INFORMATION

_I_WARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED STATES,

THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER IS4 IN (102mm).

DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE
EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

• Reduce the dryer life.
. Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered

by the warranty.

Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition duct

and replace with UL listed transition duct.
The HAXIHUH ALLOWABLE duct length and number of bends

of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number
of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions
noted below. The maximum exhaust length for rigid metal duct

is shown in the table below.

HOOD OR WALLCAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent backdrafts or entry of birds or
other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistanceto the exhaust airflow
and should requirelittle or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Never install a screenin or over the exhaust duct. Thiscould cause lint
build up.

• Wall capsmust be installed at least12 in.above ground levelor any
other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

SEPARATIONOF TURNS

Forbest performance, separate allturns by at least4 ft. of straight duct,
includingdistance between last turn and exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHERTHAN 90°

• Oneturn of 45° or lessmay be ignored.

• Two 45° turns should betreated asone 90° turn.

• Eachturn over 45° shouldbe treated as one 90° turn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• Alljoints should betight to avoid leaks.The male end of each sectionof
duct must point away from the dryer

• The duct shall not beassembledwith screwsor other fastening means
that extend into the duct and catch lint.

• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the
overlappedjoints with duct tape.

• Horizontal runsshould slope down toward the outdoors 1/2 inch perfoot.

INSULATION
Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or isnear airconditioning

shouldbe insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.

_1_ 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 6 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.

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 FLEXIBLEMETAL(SEMI-RIGID}TRANSITION DUCT

* Ifrigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal

(semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X!0077).
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 (seeillustrations 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 FLEXIBLEMETAL(FOIL-TYPE)TRANSITION DUCT

* Inspecial 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 ONLYin
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.

InCanada and the United States, only the flexible metal(foil-
type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes Dryer
Transition Duct Subject 2!58A" 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:

!. 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.
