FIREHAZARD.....
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not
exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wail, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A
clothes dryer produces combustible lint. 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.
ii
The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

FIRE HAZARD
* Do not allow combustible materials (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.
* Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or
ii
use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend
ii
into the duct to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can
: become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets,
clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard
: as weii as increasing drying times. Use an approved
vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal
ii
aii joints with metal foil duct tape. Aii male duct pipe
ii
fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.
* Do not install flexible plastic or flexible foil venting
material.
* If installing semi-rigid venting, do not exceed 8 ft.
Exhaust direction
Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90 ° dryer vent elbow directly to the exhaust
outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through
your local parts distributor or hardware store.
FIRE HAZARD

Do not instafl 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 (45.7
] cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
INCORRECT
In installations where the exhaust system has not described in the previous pages, the following method must be used
to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1 Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the
dryer.
2 Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool
down) and start the dryer.
3 Read the measurement on the manometer.
4 The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than
0.75 inches of water column. If the system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, the performance of this dryer could be adversely affected by the following conditions:
* The use of non-rigid metal duct work. * Venting vertically through a roof may expose the
exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
* Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated
area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
* Accelerated accumulation of lint buildup in dryer
exhaust system, compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
° The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned
a minimum of every 18 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.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1 Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured
Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Refer to previous sections in this guide for other
important exhaust venting system requirements.
5 When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a
provision must be made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice the area of the
dryer exhaust outlet.
