Vent Requirements  
Installation 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 the following reasons:  
Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.  
Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer 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.  
Closet Ventilation Requirements  
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.  
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.  
NOTE  
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of  
vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or  
come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.

Special Electrical  
Requirements  
Final Installation Check  
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer  
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation  
with the following tests and Installation Test (Duct  
Check).  
(For Mobile or Manufactured Homes)  
Any installation in a manufactured or mobile  
home must comply with the Manufactured Home  
Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR,  
Part 3280 or Standard CAN/ CSA Z240 MH and  
local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain  
whether your proposed installation will comply with  
these standards, please contact a service and  
installation professional for assistance.  
Testing Dryer Heating  
GAS MODELS  
Close the dryer door and press the Power button  
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/  
Pause buttons to start the test. When the dryer starts,  
the igniter should ignite the main burner.  
A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and  
manufactured home installations, as well as all new  
construction after January 1, 1996.  
NOTE  
A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the  
floor.  
If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas  
igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If  
this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition  
after approximately two minutes.  
The electrical connection for an electric dryer must  
be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information  
concerning the electrical connection is provided in  
the section Connecting Electric Dryers.  
ELECTRIC MODELS  
To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the dryer  
must be vented to the outside.  
Close the dryer door and press the Power button  
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/  
Pause buttons to start the test. The exhaust air  
should be warm after the dryer has been operating  
for 3 minutes.  
DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home  
or mobile home.  
Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using  
the back, left, right, or bottom panel.  
Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the  
back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not  
be vented to the outside using the right side panel  
because of the burner housing.  
Checking Airflow  
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.  
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by  
evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the  
exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer,  
placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft.  
(60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the  
exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inch (1.5 cm).  
The dryer should be checked while the dryer is  
running with no load.  
The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely to  
the manufactured or mobile home structure, and the  
exhaust duct must be made of a material that will  
resist fire and combustion. It is recommended that  
you use a rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal duct.  
DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any  
other duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.  
Make sure the dryer has adequate access to  
outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. The  
opening for outside fresh air must be at least  
25 sq. in (163 cm²).  
Checking Levelness  
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the  
dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front  
to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet  
are in firm contact with the floor.  
It is important that the clearance of the duct from  
any combustible construction be at least 2-inch  
(5 cm), and when venting the dryer to the outdoors,  
the dryer should be installed with a clearance of at  
least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and back of the  
dryer.  
Please be aware that venting materials are not  
supplied with the dryer. You must obtain the venting  
materials necessary for proper installation.

The dryer will start the test, which will last a  
few minutes. The heat will be turned on and the  
temperatures in the drum will be measured.  
Once you have completed the installation of the  
dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the  
exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of  
the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you  
to any serious problems in the exhaust system of  
your home.  
Check the display for results.  
During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense™  
display on the control panel. If the Flow Sense™  
LED is not turned on, when the cycle ends,  
the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust  
system is severely restricted, the Flow Sense™  
LED will be turned on. Other problems may also  
be shown with error codes. See the chart below  
for error code details and solutions.  
Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative  
sensing system that automatically detects  
blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork.  
Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of  
restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces  
energy use.  
NOTE  
The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If  
the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the  
Air Dry cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior  
temperature.
