Installation Requirements:

The dryer requires a grounded electrical outlet, and for electric models, a power cord (sold separately in the U.S.). Gas models require gas lines that comply with national and local regulations. An exhaust system made of rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting is mandatory. Flexible plastic venting materials are not recommended due to collapse, crushing, and lint trapping, which can obstruct airflow and increase fire risk. The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter. Maximum duct lengths vary based on the number of 90° elbows, ranging from 80 ft (24.4 m) for 0 elbows to 47 ft (14.3 m) for 3 elbows with rigid ducts. For short-run installations, these lengths are slightly reduced. Static pressure in the exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column. The dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Minimum clearances for alcove or closet installation are specified: 2” in front, 17” on top, 1” on either side, and 5.9 in. (150 mm) in the back. For garage installations, the dryer must be at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor. Electrical connections for U.S. electric models typically require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC service with a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Gas models require a 120 volt, 60 Hz AC service with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Grounding instructions are provided for both 3-wire and 4-wire systems. The manual also details how to connect the water hose for steam functions and how to level the dryer for optimal performance. A Vent Blockage Test is available to check the duct system after installation.
