Exhaust system requirements

Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible 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.

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive

drying times and fire hazards.

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

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible 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 airflow and

increase the risk of fire:...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

: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.

Exhaust system requirements, continued

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 fine lint will be expelled

into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire 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

- 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 fire 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 fire 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 fittings MUST be installed

downstream with the flow of air.

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 fire hazard, as well as

Install male fittings in correct direction"

CORRECT iNCORRECT

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:

:[ 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 fluff

(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 lessthan 0.75 inches of

water column, the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than .075 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:

o Only the 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.

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.

See also CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS on the next page.

Use of 90° quick-turn elbow required to meet minimum installation depth of free-standing dryer:

• Straight back venting allows for 0" (0 cm) installation. Venting right with 90° elbow allows for 0.75" (2 cm)

installation.

Venting downward with 90° elbow allows for 0.75" (2 cm) installation. Venting left with short, straight adapter and 90° elbow allows for 3.75" (9.5 cm) installation. Venting upward with short, straight adapter and 90°
