Dimensions / Clearances
Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
The following clearances are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing, and to reduce noise transfer. For closet installation with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
Diagrams illustrating side and front views of the dryer with required minimum clearances for installation, showing measurements like 14 inches maximum and 18 inches minimum.
Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm²) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm²) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.
Diagram showing closet installation requirements, including minimum ventilation openings of 48 square inches (310 cm²) at the top and 24 square inches (155 cm²) at the bottom of the door.
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet, with Stacked Washer and Dryer

Installation Spacing for Cabinet
For cabinet installation with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top of the cabinet are required.

Venting the Dryer
- If connecting to existing ductwork, ensure it is suitable and clean before installing the dryer.
- Venting must conform to local building codes.
- Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.
- Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting outside.
- The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Keep the exhaust duct as short as possible and clean any old ducts before installing the new dryer.
- Rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ducting is recommended between the dryer and the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Other materials may affect drying time.
- Ductwork is not provided; obtain necessary ductwork locally.
- The vent hood should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft.
- The total length of flexible metal duct must not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).
- Note: Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. Do not use more than four 90° elbows.
Ductwork Length Guidelines
| Wall Cap Type | Number of 90° Elbows | Maximum length of 4-inch diameter rigid metal duct |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended 4" (102 mm) | 0 | 65 ft. (19.8 m) |
| 1 | 55 ft. (16.8 m) | |
| 2 | 47 ft. (14.3 m) | |
| 3 | 36 ft. (11.0 m) | |
| 4 | 28 ft. (8.5 m) | |
| Use only for short run installations 2 1/2" (635 mm) | 0 | 55 ft. (16.8 m) |
| 1 | 47 ft. (14.3 m) | |
| 2 | 41 ft. (12.5 m) | |
| 3 | 30 ft. (9.1 m) | |
| 4 | 22 ft. (6.7 m) |

Routing and Connecting Ductwork
Follow guidelines to maximize drying performance and reduce lint buildup and condensation. Ductwork and fittings are not included and must be purchased separately.
- Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ductwork.
- Keep the exhaust duct run as short as possible.
- Use as few elbow joints as possible.
- The male end of each section of exhaust duct must point away from the dryer.
- Use duct tape on all duct joints.
- Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
- Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not covered by the dryer warranty.
Connecting the Water Inlet Hose (Steam Dryers Only)
The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not reuse old hoses.

Electrical & Gas Connection Locations

Connecting Gas Dryers
Gas Supply Requirements
- As shipped, the dryer is configured for natural gas (NG). It can be converted for propane (LP) gas.
- Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm) water column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water column for LP.
- A qualified service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service.
Electrical Requirements for Gas Models Only
- Must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz. grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker.
- Equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazard. Plug directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong.
Connecting Electric Dryers
Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only
- Must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor run with circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
- The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (fused on both sides of the line). Check the nameplate for electrical voltage. DO NOT CONNECT TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT.
- If the branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less, use UL-listed No.-10 AWG wire (copper only), or as required by local codes.
- If over 15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire (copper only), or as required by local codes.
- Allow sufficient slack in wiring for moving the dryer.
- The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block is NOT supplied. Type of pigtail and wire gauge must conform to local codes.
Four-Wire Power Cord
- A 4-wire connection is required for mobile and manufactured home installations, and all new construction after January 1, 1996.
- A UL-listed strain relief is required.
- Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends.
Four-Wire Direct Wire
- A 4-wire connection is required for mobile and manufactured home installations, and all new construction after January 1, 1996.
- A UL-listed strain relief is required.
- Use UL-listed 4-wire #10 AWG minimum copper conductor cable. Allow at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of wire for removal and reinstallation.
