[] EXHAUST INFORMATION
_WARNING - USE ONLY METAL 4-IN. DUCT.
DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
Increase the drying times and the enelgy cost.
Reduce tile dryer life.
Accmnulate lint, cleating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered
by the warranty.
Tile MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust system depends upon tile type of duct, mnrlber of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. Both rigid and flexihle metal duct are shown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALLCAP
Terminate in a manner to prevent bar'k drafts o1"entry of birds oi
other wildlife.
Termination should present minimal resistance to tile exhaust air flow
and shouM requite little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
Never install a screen in or over tlle exhaust duct. This could cause lint build up.
Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level or ally other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they inust 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, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct,
including distance between last ttlrn and exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90 °
One turn of 45 ° or less may be ignored.
Two 45 ° turns should be treated as one 90 ° turn.
Eactl turn over 45 ° shouM be treated as one 90 ° turn.
SEALING OF JOINTS
All joints shouM be tigtlt to avoid leaks. Tile male end of each section of duct must point away from ttle dryer.
Do not asselnble ttle ductwotk with fasteners that extend into tlle duct.
They will serve as a collection point for lint.
Duct joints call be made air and moisture tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
Horizontal runs stlould slope down toward tile outdoors 1/2 inch per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that tuns ttltough an unheated area ot is near air conditioning
shoukt be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
