Alcove or closet installations
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or
closet.
No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
Refer to the “Exhausting” section below for installation of exhausting work.
The front of the closet must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total
area of 72 sq.in. (465 sq.cm) with a minimum clearance of 3 in. (76mm) at the top and bottom.
A slatted door with equivalent space clearance is acceptable.
Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are as:
Either side 1 in / 2.5cm
Rear 5 in / 12.7cm
Top 11 in / 27.9cm
Front 2 in / 5.1cm
3.2 Installation
TOOLS needed in installation
Ducting Requirements
1. Use a 4-inch (10.2cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
2. Do not use a smaller duct.
3. Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2cm) in diameter can result in increased accumulation of lint.
4. Lint should be removed regularly.
5. If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a
flexible duct with a thin foil wall. A serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent
too sharply.
6. Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
7. Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
8. Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
9. Plastic flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and
affect the dryer operation.
10. Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine
operations, and collect lint.
11. The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back
