Do not use a metal foil exhaust duct.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or re.
The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and moisture
in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.
This appliance must always be vented to the outdoors.
Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting.
In Canada and in the United States, only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified
for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes
Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A, shall be use
In Canada and in the United States, the required exhaust duct diameter is 102 mm (4”).
Exhaust ducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Plastic or metal foil flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times
and affect dryer operation.
A minimum of 100mm (4”) thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanized metal duct must be used.
Using ducts larger than 100mm (4”) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.
Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation. Thick wall flexible metal
ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the
duct and cause blockages. Do not use plasti
Use duct tape to secure joints. Do not use screws as they collect lint.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these installation instructions.
Do not exhaust the dryer into a chimney or gas vent, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or
any concealed space in a building. Do not exhaust the dryer under a house or mobile home or a
porch, or into a window well or other area that will accumulate lint.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a
swing out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wild
life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper. The
hood should have at least 305mm (12 inches) clearance
een the bottom of the hood and the ground or other

To reduce condensation, insulate any ducting which passes through unheated areas.
Slope the duct gently downwards to the hood, to drain condensation and reduce lint build up.
Avoid sag or loops in the duct as they may collect and store water and accumulate lint.
Before using an existing exhaust duct system for a dryer ensure that:
No plastic or other potentially combustible duct or flexible metal foil ducting has been used.
The duct is not pierced, kinked or crushed.
The duct does not exceed the maximum recommended length for the new dryer.
The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely and with sufficient movement.
Static pressure in the exhaust ducting does not exceed 250Pa (1 inch of water column), or is no
less than 0 inches of water column (i.e. negative pressure), when measured with a manometer in
the first 150mm (6”) of the duct, with the dryer running on Fluff (no heat) setting.
The exhaust duct system meets all relevant local, state, province and national codes.
All ducting should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to remove accumulated lint.
Frequently check that the damper on the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and shuts
freely.

Connecting Gas to Your Dryer (Gas Models Only)
A listed connector in compliance with ANSI Z21.24/CSA6.10 must be used to connect the dryer to 4
the gas supply.
If flexible tubing is used, an elbow should be installed on the pipe at the back of the dryer for 5
the flexible tube to be connected to. This will minimize damage to the tube when the dryer is
moved back. Use a flexible tubing connection kit that has designed for use on a clothes dryer.
This kit should have the unions necessary to join to the ends of the tubing. Be sure to follow all
instructions supplied with the kit.
Copper tubing should not be used for Natural Gas and if used for LP Gas, it must be LP Gas 6
compatible.
Disconnect and discard old flexible tubing.7
The
gas pipe that comes out of the rear of your dryer has on it a 8 /” NPT male thread. Remove
the protective cap and apply sealing compound or tape to the thread. Thread sealant should be
appropriate for the type of gas to be used.
