Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation.
1. GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. See Electric Requirements.
2. POWER CORD for electric dryers (except Canada).
3. GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet National and Local Codes.
4. EXHAUST SYSTEM – must be rigid metal or flexible stiff walled metal exhaust ducting. See Exhaust Requirements.
The dryer should be located to permit adequate room in front for
loading the dryer, and sufficient room behind the dryer for the
exhaust system.
This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the
bottom or left side, use the accessory exhaust kit #12001453
(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.
On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must
be maintained to insure adequate air for combustion and proper
operation of the dryer.
