Electrical: A four-wire or three-wire, single phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, electrical supply (or 120/208-volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) is required on a separate 30 amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. Use 10 gauge solid copper wire. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
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.

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. Avoid making 90° turns.
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in vent length chart. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
