Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust duct must be four i nches (10.2 cm) in diamete r
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible
metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or
flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor
drying performance a nd collects li nt, which ca n lead to
a fire hazard.

DO NOT use sheet met al screws on exhaust pi pe joints
or other fastening means which extend into the duct
that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the
exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

Make-Up Air Requirements

For proper operation it is important t hat you locate the
dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up
air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.

Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can
accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the
home. These devices can be obtained through your
building contractor or building material suppliers.

Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as
a wall or ceiling.

16 510955

Exhaust System

IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as
possible.

Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be
accomplished by installing a DK1 Sales Accessory
(Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3) available as optional
equipment at extra cost.

NOTE: Be certain old ducts are cleaned before
installing your new dryer.

For best dr ying results, recomme nded maximum length
of exhaust system is shown in table below.

To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation,
outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood
with hinged dampers (obtain locally).

NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least
12 inches (30.5 cm) above the ground. Larger
clearances may be necessary for inst allations where
heavy snowfall can occur.

Exhaust Direction

The dryer can be e xhausted to the o utdoors thr ough the
back, left, right o r bottom of the drye r . EXCEPTION:
