RECESSED AREA AND CLOSET INSTALLATION
UNDERCOUNTER INSTALLATION
For closet installation, with a door, the minimum ventilation openings in the top and
bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent air ventilation openings
in the top and bottom are acceptable.
Dimensions shown are for minimum spacing.
Recommended hood styles
Dryer only
Dryer on pedestal
Angled hood style is
acceptable.
Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path
outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in vent length chart.
Determine the number of elbows you will need.
Electrical: This dryer requires a 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 specified 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. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. Four inch diameter vent is required. Rigid
or flexible metal exhaust vent must be used. Do not
use plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood
must be at least 12 inches from the ground or any
object that may be in the path of the exhaust.
Minimum installation spacing for
cabinet installation
For cabinet installation, with a door, the
minimum ventilation openings in the top
are required.
