For closet installation
with a door, minimum
ventilation openings in
the top and bottom of
the door are required.
Louvered doors with
equivalent air 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. Use the fewest 90° turns
possible.
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.

Electrical: To supply the required three- or four-
wire, single-phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only
electrical supply (or three- or four-wire, 
120/208-volt electrical supply, if specified on the
serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect to an
individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit.
Do not use an extension cord.
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.
