Exhaust System Materials

A clothes dryer produces combustible

lint.

To reduce the risk of fire or gas accumulation, the dryer MUST be

exhausted to the outdoors. This gas appliance contains or produces

a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other

reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from fuel combustion, make sure this

appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the instructions

in this manual. To reduce the risk of fire and the

accumulation of combustion gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well,

gas vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or

concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use

plastic or thin foil ductiong to exhaust the dryer.

Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the dryer. Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter

having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is

acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting, because it contributes to poor drying performance and

collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.

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

DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe 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.

Exhaust System

IMPORTANT : Keep exhaust duct as short as

possble.

NOTE : Be certain old ducts are cleaned before

installing your new dryer.

For best drying results, recommended maximum length

of exhaust system is shown in Table 1.

To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation,

outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with

hinged dampers (obtain locally).
