•Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.•Be certain old ducts are cleaned before installing your new dryer.•Use 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.•The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.•Use as few elbows as possible.

•Use duct tape or pop-rivets on all duct joints. DO NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on exhaust pipe joints which extend into the duct.

•Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must be insulated to help reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls.

•In mobile home installations, dryer exhaust duct must be secured to mobile home structure.

•Dryer exhaust duct MUST NOT terminate under mobile home.•Dryer exhausts 220 cfm (measured at back of dryer).•DO NOT install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

•Static pressure in exhaust duct should not be greater than .6 inches water column (1.5 cm), measured with manometer placed on exhaust duct two feet (61 cm) from dryer (check with dryer running and no load).

•Exhausting dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be done by installing 521P3 Flexible Metal Vent Kit (available as optional equipment at extra cost).

•Sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace the air exhausted by the dryer. The free

area of any opening for outside air must be at least 40 in.2 (260 cm2).•Failure to exhaust dryer properly will void warranty.NOTE: Venting materials are not supplied with the dryer (obtain locally).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the bottom of the dryer’s front panel with laundry, rugs, etc. Blockage will decrease airflow through the dryer, thus reducing the efficiency of the dryer.
