Venting
For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented. The dryer will use more
energy and run longer if it is not vented to the below specifications. Carefully follow the
details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions.
„ Use only rigid metal 4” diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet. Use only rigid metal or
UL listed flexible metal 4” diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outside. Minimize flexible
ductwork sections to increase dryer efficiency.
„ Do not use plastic or other combustible ductwork.
„ Use the shortest length possible.
„ Do not crush or collapse.
„ Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
„ Venting must conform to local building codes.

Energy Smart
TM
In some select locations, electric utilities are beginning
to run consumer trials where they communicate
directly with household appliances to reduce energy
consumption during periods of high energy costs. To
communicate with an electric utility, your home would
need to be equipped with a Smart Electric Meter, and
your appliance would need to have an Appliance
Communication Module (ACM) installed. Smart Meters
and ACM’s are currently not available directly to
consumers. Consumers need to be solicited by their
electric utility before they can participate in field trials
testing these new communication solutions.
If you are part of a previously arranged electric
utility trial where your utility is in communication
with your appliances, your appliance will receive
energy reduction signals from the utility. When the
energy reduction signal has been received, your
appliance will display an “ES” on the display and/
or the Energy Smart icon will illuminate on the front
panel. The appliance will respond by reducing energy
consumption or delaying the start of the cycle.
The Energy Smart mode can be overridden by:
-
Holding the Delay Dry button for 3 seconds to return
the dryer to normal operation.
Energy Smart installation and system connection
instructions are included with the ACM.
