Exhaust System Connections

Requirements and Instructions

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 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. Ensure present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.

2. If the dryer is on exhausted out doors, 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. To reduce risk of fire, dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

3. Do not allow combustible material (for example: clothing, draperies/curtains,

paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer must not be exhausted into a chimney,a wall,a ceiling,or any concealed space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.

4. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the

”Maximum Length” charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system, Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.

5. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws of

rivets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, 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 must be installed downstream with the flow of air.

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

English

Materials

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 area not insulated 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.

English

Location of Your Dryer

Do Not Install Your Dryer:

• In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.

• In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, thick carpet,or any

thing that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• On carpet floor must be solid with a maximum slope of 1inch (2.54 cm).

Installation in Mobile Home

• Dryer must be exhausted outside (outdoors, not beneath the mobile home)

using metal ducting that will not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is preferred.

• If dryer is exhausted through the floor and area beneath the mobile home is

enclosed, the exhaust system must terminate outside the enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure.

• Refer to previous pages for other important venting requirements.

• Installation must conform to current Manufactured Home Construction &

Safety Standard.
