Minimum spacing for recessed area or closet installation

The dimensions shown following are for the minimum spacing allowed.

■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation
and servicing.

■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and oor
moldings.

■ Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the dryer
is recommended 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.

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.

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 following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

■ Shorten life of dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.
