to
manual section
on
Exhaust
Requirements
and
Maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
To reduce the risk of
fire, combustion,
and gas
accumulation,
the

must
be vented
to
the outdoors. Please follow the
instructions
(and
all others in this
manual)
very
carefully.

not
use
Plastic
or
thin foil duct.
Rigid
or
semi-rigid
metal
ducting
is recommended
for
use as
transition
ducting
between the
dryer
and
and the wall. In
special
installations when it is
impossible to
make
a
connection with the above
recommendations, then
a
UL-listed flexible metal
transition duct may be used between the
dryer
and
wall connection
only.
The
use
of this
ducting
will
affect
dry
time.
Position the
Dryer
such that the exhaust duct
run
is
as
short
as
possible.
Clean old ducts
before installing
this
dryer
The male end of each section of exhaust duct
must
point
away from the
dryer
Use
as
few elbow
joints
as
possible.
Use duct
tape
on
all duct
joints
Insulate ductwork that
runs
through
unheated
areas
in order
to
reduce condensation and lint
build-up
on
pipe walls;
and
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FAILURE TO
EXHAUST THE DRYER CORRECTLY WILL
VOID THE DRYER'S WARRANTY.
WARNING!
Use
a
heavy
metal
vent.
Do
not
use
plastic
or
thin foil duct.
Failure
to
follow these instructions
can
result in death
