Installation spacing for recessed area
or closet installation
All dimensions show recommended and minimum spacing allowed.
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, oor moldings, dryer venting, and gas line.
■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides
of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door
are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical
supply, if specied 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.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside. 4" (102 mm)
diameter vent is required. Rigid or exible metal exhaust vent
must be used. Do not use plastic or metal foil vet. Exhaust hood
must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground or any object that
may be in the path of the exhaust.
Exhaust hoods:
Recommended Styles:
Louvered Hood
Box Hood
Acceptable Style:
Angled Hood
Determine vent path:
■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■ Plan installation to use 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 as few 90° turns as possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
■ Use the “Vent System Charts” on the next page to determine
type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to
use.
The “Vent System Charts” provide venting requirements that
will help achieve best drying performance.

To determine if your model has a long vent system, refer to the
type code located on the serial number plate in the inner door
well. Example: An electric model would be DALV – Ele – XXXX
XXX-XXX.
NOTE: For long vent systems, use of box/louvered hoods will
improve venting regardless of length.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied
in “Vent System Charts.”
Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:
■ Shorten life of dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
