Installation Instructions

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO

HOUSE VENT

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT

For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is recommended.

Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing and kinking.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION DUCT

If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).

Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.

Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet (2.4 m).

For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations at right). Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.

Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE)

TRANSITION DUCT

In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct may be used ONLY in installations

where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.

In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the “Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A” shall be used.

Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.

Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet (2.4 m).

Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

For best drying performance:

1.Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.

2.Secure the duct with a clamp.

3.With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to its full length. Allow 2of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.

4.Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.

FOR TRANSITION VENTING (DRYER TO WALL), DO:

•DO cut duct as short as possible and install straight into wall.

•DO use elbows when turns are necessary.

Elbows

DO NOT:

•DO NOT bend or collapse ducting. Use elbows if turns are necessary.

•DO NOT use excessive exhaust length. Cut duct as short as possible.

•DO NOT crush duct against the wall.

•DO NOT set dryer on duct.
