Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) 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. T o avoid r estricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow . Restricted air flow will incr ease dryer times. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct.

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws or rivets 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 duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings

• Venting vertical 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 every 18 months

every 18 months with normal usage. The more

every 18 months every 18 months the dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.

EXHAUST DIRECTIONEXHAUST DIRECTION

EXHAUST DIRECTION

EXHAUST DIRECTIONEXHAUST DIRECTION All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting. However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer . On gas dryers, exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts distributor . Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

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 fluff (cool down) and start the dryer .

3. Read the measurement on the manometer.

4. The system back pressure

MUST NOT be higher than

MUST NOTMUST NOT

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 the rigid metal duct work should be used.
