English English

EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

The following are specific requirements for proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.

1. 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 increase drying time. If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

2. The dryer must not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling or any concealed space of a building. The dryer exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outdoors. 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.

3. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the “Maximum Length” chart can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.

4. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system. Lint can become caught in the screen, increasing drying time. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape.

5. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed downstream with the flow of air.

6. Exhaust duct must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the duct.

7. Do not allow combustible material (clothing, draperies/curtains, paper, etc.) to come in contact with exhaust system.

Explosion hazard: Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.

Exhaust Requirements:

Use only 4 inch (10.2cm) diameter (minimum) rigid of flexible metal duct and

approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper hat 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 (30.5cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move freely, although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable. Certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:

1. Only rigid metal duct work should be used.

2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.

3. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulatedarea may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.

4. Compression of crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction.

The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 12

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.

PREPARATIONS BEFORE DRYING

• Sort clothes of the same kind (cotton, synthetics, woolen) to dry.

• Dark and light colored clothes should be separately dried. Fabrics prone to

losing lint and those prone to adhering lint shall be separately dried. Clothes prone to falling lint should be turned inside out before putting into the dryer.

• Make sure buttons and ornaments on the clothes are high temperature resistant and won’t damage drum surface. Before loading, the clothes should have their zippers zipped up, buttons and hooks done up and belts tied so as to avoid entanglement or other obstacles.

• If possible, turn out the clothes pockets for uniform drying.

• Check if clothes remain soiled. If so, wash them again, otherwise soils may be

permanently set.

• Small articles should be collected in a mesh bag before loading and drying, so

as to avoid entanglement and ensure easy removal.

• Make sure the power socket is reliably grounded. The grounding terminal should

not be connected to gas or tap water pipelines.

• Make sure exhaust duct has been properly connected.

• Make sure lint filter is clean and properly installed. If lint filter is not in place,

tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the dryer. Note: Applies to Auto Dry cycle and Timed Dry cycle.

• For Rack Dry cycle, remove the lint filter and assemble the drying rack with its

rear end slightly downward inclined. The configuration is as shown in the following figure:

• The appropriate load should be 1/3 ~ 1/2 of the drum volume. Avoid too

much load, as space is needed to allow clothes free rotation for uniform and wrinkle-proof drying.

• When drying big articles, only 2-3 pieces should be loaded at a time and supplemented with small and medium-sized articles.

• For delicate clothes or less load, two towels may be added to get better drying and wrinkle-proof effects.

• Do not excessively dry clothes to avoid wrinkles, shrinkage, roughness, electro-static charge accumulation, and/or more lint.

Rack Dry cycle

• This program is designed specially for articles like sport shoes. During drying, please make sure the articles are placed on the rack with no risk of entangling the baffles while the drum is rotating. Note: If drying rack is not in place, rolling inner tub could collide with drying

rack and causes damage to the dryer and drying rack.
