Hotpoint® 6.2 Cu. Ft. Capacity Electric Dryer with up to 120 Ft. Venting and Shallow Depth
For complete information, see installation instructions packed with
your dryer.
DUCTING MATERIALS:
For best performance, this dryer should be vented with 4" diameter
all-rigid metal exhaust duct. If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then
UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).
In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the house
vent using a flexible metal (foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type)
duct may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal
(semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be
maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct. Please see
installation instruction packed with your dryer for complete instructions
when using flexible metal (foil-type) ducting.
EXHAUST LENGTH CALCULATION:
1. Determine the number of 90° turns needed for your installation.
If you exhaust to the side or bottom of dryer, add one turn.
2. The maximum length of 4' rigid (aluminum or galvanized) duct which can
be tolerated is shown in the table. A turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
Two 45° turns within the duct length should be treated as a 90° elbow.
A turn over 45° should be treated as a 90° elbow.
Dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
CAUTION: For personal safety, do not terminate exhaust
into a chimney, under any enclosed house floor (crawl space),
or into an attic, since the accumulated lint could create a fire
hazard or moisture could cause damage. Never terminate the
exhaust into a common duct or plenum with a kitchen exhaust,
since the combination of lint and grease could create a fire
hazard. Exhaust ducts should be terminated in a dampered
wall cap to prevent back drafts, bird nesting, etc. The wall
cap must also be located at least 12" above the ground or
any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
Dryer exhausting information – use metal duct only vertical and horizontal ducting.

For every extra 90° elbow, reduce the
allowable vent system length by 10 ft.
Two 45° elbows will be treated like
one 90° elbow.
For the side exhaust installations,
add one 90° elbow to the chart.
When calculating the total vent system
length, you must add all the straight
portions and elbows of the system
(including the transition duct).
Laundry Center length includes
factory-installed elbow that does
not impact vent length.
