Do not use non-metal flexible duct. Also, when installing the venting system, do not exceed
the specified length for the vent duct. Venting systems which are longer than specified will
accumulate lint, increase drying time and energy use and shorten the life of the dryer.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Most installations require a minimum 5 1/2 in. clearance behind
the dryer for the exhaust ducting. Allow minimum clearances
of at least 1 in. on the sides and back to minimize vibration
and noise. Allowing additional clearance for installation and
servicing is recommended. Be sure to allow for wall, door,
or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.
Allow at least 21" in front of the dryer to open the door.
