WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and ﬁ re hazards.

The following are speciﬁ c requirements for proper and safe opera- tion of your dryer.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂ exible plastic or metal foil venting materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂ ow and increase the risk of ﬁ re.

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 lint prior to installing dryer duct.

Incorrect

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 lint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some ﬁ ne lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and ﬁ re 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.

WARNING

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 lint, resulting in a ﬁ re 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 ﬁ re hazard as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil duct tape. All male duct pipe ﬁ ttings MUST be installed downstream with the ﬂ ow of air.

WARNING

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 ﬁ re hazard, as well as increase drying times.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust system requirements, continued

Install male ﬁ ttings in correct direction:

CORRECT

In installations where the exhaust system is not described in previous pages, 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 ﬂ uff and

start the dryer. 3 Read the measurement on the manometer. 4 The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher

than 0.75 inches of water column. If the

system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of

water column, the system is acceptable. If the

manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of

water column, the system is too restrictive and the

installation is unacceptable. Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is

acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:

• Only 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.

INCORRECT

Exhaust direction

The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with rear ﬂ ush installation:

1. Straight back

2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter [102 mm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down)

3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)

4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow right)

To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (28 cm) length of standard 4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit will be positioned about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) away from the wall (ﬂ ush to wall exhausting may be done by going below the dryer then sideways). An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust can be installed directly through the outside wall. To exhaust to the side or down, add an 8 inch (20.3 cm) length of standard 4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow.
