DO NOT exhaustdryer into any wall, ceiling, crawl space or a concealedspace of a building,gas vent,
or any other common duct or chimney. This could create a fire hazardfrom lint expelled by the dryer.
The exhaust ductshould end withan exhaust hood with a swingout damper to prevent backdraftsand entry
of wildlife. NEVER use an exhaust hood with a magneticdamper. The hood should have at least 12 inches
of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hoodopening should
pointdown. NEVER install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
Whenpossible, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well in order to avoid lint build-up. Do not
exhaust under a house or porch.
If exhaustductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly down
towards the exhaust hoodto reduce condensationand lint build-up.
If an existing exhaust system is to be used with your dryer(s) you must be sure:
• The exhaust system meets all local, state and national codes.
• That plastic flexible duct is not used.
• To completely inspect and clean all lint accumulatingfrom the interior of the duct.
• The duct is not kinked or crushed.
• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least twice a year. Disconnectelectric service prior to
cleaning. Check gas line on gas dryers anytime the dryer is moved.
Frequentlycheckto be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
WASHER REQUIREMENTS
Water pressureof 20 to 120 p.s.i, is requiredto correctlyfill the washer to the proper levels.
DRAIN FACILITY
Recommendedheightof the stand pipe is 36 inches. If the stand pipe is less than 36 inches high,the drain
hoseshould be routed through the clip to raise the hose to the proper height. Stand pipe must be large
enough to accept the outside diameterof the drain hose.
Without the 36 inches high elevation, water may run out of the washer prematurely. Should the washer
fill and drain at the sametime could indicatethat the drain hose has not been elevatedto the proper height.
The drain hose is attached at the factory.
FLOORING
For best performancethe washer must be installed on a solidly constructedfloor. Wood floors may need to
be reinforcedto minimizevibration and/or unbalancedload situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
contributingfactors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to moveslightly during the spin cycle. Never
install the washer on a platform or weak supportedstructure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommendedthe washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the washer will
always maintainsome water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts,
pump, hoses and other components. Operatingtemperature should be above 60°F.
