INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid or ﬂ exible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

WARNING

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

The following are speciﬁ c requirements for proper and safe operation of your dryer.

FIRE HAZARD

WARNING

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.

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.

FIRE HAZARD

Correct Incorrect

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

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.

FIRE HAZARD

WARNING

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.

WARNING

• 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.

FIRE HAZARD

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust system requirements, continued

Install male ﬁ ttings in correct direction:

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through your local parts distributor or hardware store.

CORRECT

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 ﬂ uff

(cool down) 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.

General installation

1 Connect the exhaust duct to the outside exhaust

system. Use of a 4” (102 mm) clamp (item A) is recommended to connect the dryer to the exhaust vent system. Use metal foil tape to seal all other joints.

2 Use a carpenter’s level to level your dryer front-to-back

and side-to-side.

3 Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so the

dryer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.

4 Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for

the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg(s) so the dryer sits solidly on the ﬂ oor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance of the dryer.

IMPORTANT

Be sure the power is off at a circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.

5 Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
