WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install the dryer where gasoline
or other flammables are kept or stored. If
the dryer is installed in a garage, it must
be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm)
above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.
In installations where the exhaust system
is not described in the charts, the following
method must be used to determine if the
exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point
the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to
air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST
NOT be higher than 1.0 inch of water
column. If the system back pressure is
less than 1.0 inch of water column, the
system is acceptable. If the manometer
reading is higher than 1.0 inch of water
column, the system is too restrictive
and the installation is unacceptable.
Correct Incorrect
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should
be used.
• Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts
causing an increase in vent restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust
system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
• The exhaust system should be
inspected and cleaned a minimum of
every 18 months with normal usage.
The more the dryer is used, the more
often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation
and that it is free of obstructions.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction &
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part
32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard
for Mobile Home Construction and
Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or
Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside
(outdoors, not beneath the mobile
home) using metal ducting that will not
support combustion. Metal ducting
must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal
duct is preferred.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the floor
and area beneath the mobile home is
enclosed, the exhaust system MUST
terminate outside the enclosure with
the termination securely fastened to a
non-combustible portion of the mobile
home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this guide
