Electrical: A three- or four-wire, single-phase,
120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or
three- or four-wire, 120/208-volt electrical supply,
if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate
30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line
must be provided. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual
branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
Exhaust venting: Exhaust your dryer to the
outside. Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic
or metal foil vent. 4" (102 mm) heavy metal
exhaust vent and clamps must be used.
DURASAFE™ venting products are recommended.
Exhaust outlet hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm)
from the ground or any object that may be in the
path of the exhaust. The dryer can be converted to
exhaust out right or left side.

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. Use the fewest 90° turns
possible.
Do not use vent runs longer than specified in vent length
chart.
Determine the number of elbows you will need.
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.
Standpipe drain system - wall or floor
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away
capacity can be no less than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 2" (5 cm) diameter to 1" (2.5 cm) diameter
standpipe adapter kit is available.
The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom
of the washer.
Laundry tub drain system
The laundry tub needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity. The top of the laundry tub must be at least 34"
(86.4 cm) above the floor and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.
Floor drain system
The floor drain system requires a siphon break that may be purchased separately.
The siphon break must be a minimum of 28" (71 cm) from the bottom of the washer. Additional hoses
might be needed.
