allowed, with tested spacing of 0" (0 mm)
clearance on sides and rear.
■ Additional spacing should be considered
for ease of installation and servicing.
18"
(460 mm)
■ Additional clearances might be required
for wall, door, and oor moldings.
■ 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
4"
(102 mm)
ventilitation openings are acceptable.
■ Companion appliance spacing should
also be considered.
■ No other fuel-burning appliance may be
installed in the same
closet as the dryer.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
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. Connect to an individual
branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit
WATER (STEAM MODELS ONLY) REQUIREMENTS
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses. Do not overtighten.
Damage to the coupling can result.
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 following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specied will:
■ Shorten life of dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
The “Vent System Charts” provide venting requirements that
will help achieve best drying performance.
