•Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct.
•Do Not use metal duct smaller than 4 Inches (10.2 cm) In diameter.
•Do Not use exhaust hoods with magnetic latches.
•Check that exhaust system Is not longer than specified. Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
—Accumulate lint.
—Shorten the life of the product.
—Reduce performance and result In longer drying times and Increased energy usage.
Failure to follow specifications may result In a fire.
•Do Not exhaust the dryer Into a chimney, furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl space, or any other duct used for venting.
•Clean the exhaust system every year.
Accumulated lint could be fuel for a fire or cause moisture damage.
•Exhausting your dryer Indoors Is Not recommended. The moisture and lint Indoors may cause:
—Lint to gather Inside and around the dryer and be a fuel for fire.
—Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet, etc.

Metal flexible duct must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final
position. DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT.
The metal flexible duct must be fully extended to allow adequate exhaust air to flow.
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making turns. Bend duct gradually to avoid kinking. Remove excess flexible duct to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced air flow.
The exhaust duct can |
|
be routed up, down, |

The maximum length using a 2" x 6" rectangular duct with 2 elbows and a 2-1/2" (TYPE C) exhaust hood is 8 ft (2.4 m).
For exhaust configurations other than those listed in chart the back pressure MUST not exceed 0.2 inches water column at the back of the washer/dryer. The back pressure should be checked by a qualified technician.
For exhaust systems not covered by the exhaust length chart, check with your dealer or distributor for information.
Service check: The back pressure in any exhaust system used must not exceed
0.2 inches of water column measured with an inclined manometer at the point that the exhaust duct connects to the dryer.
Exhausting the dryer outside is recommended. Recessed installation that is not exhausted outside must use Exhaust Deflector Kit Part
No. 694609, available from your authorized parts distributor. See "Recessed and closet installation instructions," Panel E, for unobstructed air opening requirements.
If the washer/dryer Is Installed In a confined area such as a bedroom, bathroom or closet. It must be exhausted to the outside and provision must be made for enough air for ventilation. Check governing codes and ordinances. Also refer to the "Recessed and closet installation instructions" on Panel E.
An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air ___
from returning into dryer. —
The outlet of the hood |
— |
must be at least |
— |
12 inches (30.5 cm) from — the ground or any object that may be in the path "
of the exhaust.
Four-Inch (10.2-cm) outlet hood Is preferred.
However, a 2-1 /2 inch (6.4 cm) outlet hood may be used with short systems only.
A 2-1/2 inch (6.4 cm) outlet hood can result in ionger drying times than other hood types. For permanent Installation, a stationary exhaust system Is required.
Exhausting the dryer through the side of the washer/dryer requires the use of Side Exhaust Kit, Part No. 279823,
available from your authorized parts distributor. Follow kit Installation Instructions for proper exhaust installation.
