EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure
to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards.
1. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up
inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted
air flow will increase drying time. If your present system is made up of plastic
duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure
present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
2. The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space, or a concealed space of a building; The dryer exhaust system
MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.
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.
3. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the
"Maximum Length" chart can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase
drying times.
4. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system. Lint can become caught in
the screen, increasing drying time. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape.
5. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed downstream with the flow of air.
6. The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend
into the duct and catch lint.
7. Do not allow combustible material (clothing, draperies/curtains, paper, etc.) to
come in contact with exhaust system.
Explosion hazard:
Do not install 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 (45.7cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, fire or burns.
Exhaust Requirements:
Use only rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a
swing-out damper hat open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer
stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance of
insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,
