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.
1. 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. When using elbows or
making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Avoid 90° turns.
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
• Type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
• Number of elbows used.
• Type of hood.
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent
lengths you can use.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart.
In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid metal or flexible metal),
find the maximum length of metal vent on the same line as the number of elbows.

Gas supply: Dryer is equipped for use with
Natural gas. Dryer can be converted to L.P. gas.
When rigid pipe is used it should be 1/2
" IPS. When
acceptable to the gas supplier and local codes, 3/8
"
approved aluminum or copper tubing may be used
for lengths under 20 ft (6.1 m). For lengths more
than 20 ft (6.1 m), larger tubing and a different size
adapter fitting should be used. Pipe-joint compounds
resistant to the action of L.P. gas must be used. Do
not use TEFLON®† tape. If local codes permit, it is
recommended that new flexible metal tubing, design-
certified by CSA, be used for connecting the
appliance to the rigid gas supply line. (The gas pipe
which extends through the lower rear of the
appliance has 3/8
" male pipe thread.) An individual
manual shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft
(1.8 m) of the dryer in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Electrical: A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or
20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this dryer be provided.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the outside.
4" (10.2 cm) diameter heavy metal exhaust vent and
clamps must be used. DURASAFE™ venting products
are recommended. For best drying performance, rigid
metal vents are recommended. Flexible metal vents are
acceptable only if accessible for cleaning. Do NOT use
plastic or metal foil vent. Exhaust outlet hood must be
at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object
that may be in the path of the exhaust.
