This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or left side, use the accessory exhaust kit (see Accessories). Instructions are included with the kit.

It is important to make sure the room has adequate make-up air. The area where the dryer is located must not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilating air.

THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO WATER AND/OR WEATHER.
