Exhausting requirements
The dryer must not be exhausted into a
chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl
space, or a concealed space of a building.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will
prevent large amounts of lint and moisture
from being blown into the room.
In the United States and Canada
• All dryers must be exhausted to the
outside.
• The required exhaust duct is 4 inches
(10.2 cm) in diameter.
• See Ducting requirements in the
Installation section for the maximum
duct length and number of bends that
can be used.
• The total length of flexible metal duct
must not exceed 7’ 10½” (2.4 m).
• Do not assemble the duct with screws
or other fasteners that extend into the
duct and catch lint.
• For the United States only: Use only
those foil-type flexible ducts, if any,
specifically identified for use with the
appliance by the manufacturer and that
comply with the Outline for Clothes
Dryer Transition Duct. Use Subject
2158A.
Outside the United States and Canada
• Refer to the local codes.
WARNING
• You must exhaust the dryer to the
outside to reduce the risk of fire when
you install the dryer in an alcove or
closet.
• Do not use a plastic or non-metal
flexible duct.
• If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-
metal, or combustible, replace it with
metal.
• Use only a metal exhaust duct that is
non-flammable to ensure containment
of exhaust air, heat, and lint.
Gas requirements

• Use only natural or LP (liquid propane)
gases.
• The installation must be conformed
with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the national fuel gas
code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest
revision(for the UNITED STATES), or
with the natural gas and propane
installation code, CSA B149.1(for
Canada).
