EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that opens when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the damper(s) automatically closes to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct used, number of elbows and type of exhaust
hood. Themaximum length for both rigid and flexible duct isshown
in the chart below.
EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS
EXHAUST HOOD TYPE
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your laundry center, Failure to
follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
[] Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryen Excessive lint can build up inside the exhaust system and create a fire hazard
and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase drying times.
If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil
duct, _lace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any lint prior to installing laundry
center dryer duct.
[] If the_Ly_r is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be _ed into the Iaundr£area= An accumulation of lint in any area
of the home can create a health and fire hazard. The dryer exhaust system MUST he exhausted to the outside of the
dwelling!
[] Do not allow combustible materials (for example: clothing, draperiedcurtains_aper) to come in contact with the exhaust
s._ The dryer MUST NOT be exLlausted 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 exceed the le__h__e or number of elbows
allowed in the "EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS"chart. Lint can accumulate in the system, plugging the systern and creating a fire
hazard, aswell as increasing drying dmes

_l_Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use a_crews or rivets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become cauqht in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging
drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seat all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe
fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer where
gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed in agarage, 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.
t. The exhaust system back pressure MUST not exceed 0.6 inches
(! .52 cm) of water column, measured with an inclined manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
. The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of every two years with normal usage. The more
the dryer isused, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 inch (I0.!6 cm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The unit

An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer exhaust can be installed directly through the outside wall. To exhaust up, add an 1! inch (27.94 cm) length of standard 4 "_- inch 110.16 cm) diameter
duct and a 90 ° elbow. The unit will be positioned about
4V2inches (11.43 cm) away from the wall (flush to wall
exhausting may be done by going below the dryer then sideways). To exhaust to the side or down, add an 8 inch -.. (20.32 cm) length of
standard 4 inch 110.16 cm) diameter duct and a 90 °
elbow.
