OVERALL DIMENSIONS

Dryer dimensions

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.

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 are acceptable.

Exhaust venting

Exhaust your dryer to the outside.

4" (102 mm) diameter vent is required. Rigid or flexible

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.

Hood styles: A & B are recommended.

The vent system chart provides venting requirments

that will help to achieve the best drying performance.

Vent system chart:

NOTE:

Side and bottom exhaust installations have

a 90° turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum

exhaust length, add one 90° turn to the chart.
