risk of fire or personal injury:

• This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

• Use only metal duct.

• Do not terminate exhaust into a chimney, any
gas vent, under an enclosed floor, in a crawl
space, wall, ceiling, into an attic or other
concealed space of a building. The accumulated

lint could create a fire hazard.

• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning
of the exhaust system, especially at turns.
Inspect and clean at least once a gear.

• Never terminate the exhaust into a common
duct with a kitchen exhaust. A combination

of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.

• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

• This drger comes ready for rear exhausting.
If space is limited, use the instructions
on pages 28-31 to exhaust directly

from the sides or bottom of the cabinet.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS YOU WILL

NEED TO INSTALL EXHAUST DUCT

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or
entry of birds or other wildlife.

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

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

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above
ground level or any other obstruction with the
opening pointed down.

• If roof vents or Iouvered plenums are used, they
must be equivalent to a 4" dampened wall cap in
regard to resistance to airflow, 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 turn and dampened wall cap.
For turns less than/4 ft. apart, see the Ducting
Component Equivalency Chart.

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

• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners
that extend into the duct. They will serve as

a collection point for lint.

• Duct joints should be made air- and
moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped

joints with duct tape or aluminum tape.

• Horizontal runs should slope down towards
outdoors 1//4" per foot.

INSULATION

• Ductwork that runs through an unheated area
or is near air conditioning should be insulated
to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

Installation Instructions

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER(cont.)

USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCT
FOR TRANSITION VENTING

Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is
recommended for use as transition ducting
between the drger and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a

connection with the above recommendations, then
a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct mag be

used between the drger and wall connection onlg.
The use of this ducting will affect drg time. Onlg
those foil-tgpe flexible ducts, if ang, specificallg
identified for use with the appliance bg the

manufacturer should be used. In the United States,
the duct must complg with the Outline for Clothes

Drger Transition Duct, Subject 2158A.
If flexible metal transition duct is necessarg,

the following directions must be followed:

• Use the shortest length possible.

• Stretch the duct to its maximum length.

• Do not crush or collapse.

• Never use flexible metal ducting inside the wall
or inside the drgen

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

• Venting must conform to local building codes.

DO NOT:

• DO NOT bend or
collapse ducting.

Use elbows if

Cut duct as short

as possible.

• DO NOT crush

the wall.

FOR TRANSITION VENTING

(DRYER TO WALL), DO:

• DO cut duct

Installation Instructions

-A WARNING

USE ONLY METAL DUCT 4" DIAMETER (102 mm
FOR CANADA). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN

SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Ducting longer than 150 equivalent feet will:

• Increase the drging times and the energg cost.

• Reduce the drger life.

• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

• Total length of flexible metal duct should not
exceed 7.9' (2.4 m).
