,_WARNING - USE ONLY METAL 4-IN. DUCT.

DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Using exhaust lcmger than specified length will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy' cost.

• Reduce the dryer lite.

• Accmrmlate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered

by the warranty.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, mnnber of turns, the type of

exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. Both rigid and flexible metal duct are shown in the table below-.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LiST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

•Terminate in amanner to prevent back drafts or entry ofbirds or other wildlife.

•Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

•Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. Thiscould causelintbuild up.

•"_\:allcaps must be installed at least 12in. above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

•If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 4-in. dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow,prevention of back drafts, and maintenance required to prevent clogging.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

For best performance, sepm'ate all turns by at least 4 ILof straight duct, including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90°

• One turn of 45 o or less may be ignored.

•Two 45oturns should be treated as one 90° turn.

•Each turn over 450 should be treated as one 90° turn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

•All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away fl'om the dryer.

•Do not assemble the ductwork with fhsteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint,

•Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct rope.

•Horizontal runs should slope down towm'd the outdoors 1/2 inch per foot

INSULATION Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning

should be insulated to reduce condensation and lintbuild-up__
