risk of fire.

Ill

Correct

If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi- rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of any tint prior to installing dryer duct.

6 Installation Requirements

Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible tint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the

laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust

outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

FIRE HAZARD

Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing, draperies!curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The

dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate tint, resulting in

a fire hazard. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent

system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to assemble

the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct

pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.

• if installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m) duct length.

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90 ° dryer vent elbow directly

to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbow's are available through your local parts distributor or

hardware store.

FIRE HAZARD

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number

of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the

exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying

times.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the next page.

NOTE

Use of 90 ° quick-turn elbow required to meet minimum installation depth.

Installation Requirements 7

Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

EXPLOSION 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 (coot 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.

Install male fittings in correct direction:

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.

o 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.

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 the mobile home structure.

4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for other important exhaust venting system requirements.

5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be made for outside make up

air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2) dryer mounted on pedestal to the floor with approved

Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N 137067200.
