and clean before installing the dryer. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
• Venting must conform to local building codes. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire or death.
• Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid or flexible metal ductwork
inside the dryer cabinet and for venting outside. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of
combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed
and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl
space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

InstallatIon InstrUCtIons
• Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is recommended for use
between the dryer and the wall. In special installations
when it is impossible to make a connection with the above
recommendations, a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct
may be used between the dryer and wall connection only.
The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire or death.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which
extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the
efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct
tape. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• To maximize operating results, please observe the duct length
limitations noted in the chart next page. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire or death.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You should obtain
the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have
hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in
use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
• The Total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 8 ft.
(2.4 m)
• In Canada, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any,
specifically identified for use with the appliance by the
manufacturer shall be used. In the United States, that only those
foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with
the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the
Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A, shall be
used.
