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.
Jr]Canada and in the United States,only those foil type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified
for usewith the appliance bythe manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes
DryerTransition Duct, Subject 2158A, shall be used.
Jr]Canada and in the United States,the required exhaust duct diameter is 102mm (4").
Exhaustducting products carl be purchased from your local Appliance storeor Hardware store.
Plasticor metal foil flexible duct carl 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.
Usingducts largerthan 100ram (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 squashthe
duct and cause blockages. Do not use plastic ducting or thin wall flexible metal ducting.
Useduct tape to securejoints. Do not use screws as they collect lint.
Keepducting asshort and straight aspossible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these ir]sta%tion instructions.
Do not exhaust the dryer into a chimney or gas vent, awall, 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 useexhaust hoods with a magnetic damper. The
hood should have at least305ram (12inches) clearance
between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other
obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never
install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

Exhausting
To reduce condensation, insulate any ducting which passesthrough unheated areas.
Slopethe duct gently downwards to the hood, to drain condensation and reduce lint build up.
Avoid sagor loops in the duct asthey may collect and store water and accumulate lint.
Beforeusing an existing exhaust duct system for a dryer ensure that:
No plastic or other potentially combustible duct or flexible metal foil ducting has beer] used.
The duct isnot pierced, kinked or crushed.
The duct does not exceed the maximum recommended length for the new dryer.
The exhaust hood damper opens and closesfreely and with sufficient movement.
Static pressure in the exhaust ducting does not exceed 3SOPa(1 inch of water column), or is not
lessthan 0 inches of water column (i.e.negative pressure),when measured with amanometer in
the first ] FOrum(6")of the duct, with the dryer running or] 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 or] the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and shuts
freely.
