m Accumulate lint.
) Shorten the life of the dryer.
m Reduce the performance in ways
such as causing longer drying times
and increasing the use of energy.
The back pressure in any exhaust
system used must not exceed 0.6
inches of water column measured
with an inclined manometer at the
point that the exhaust system
connects to the dryer.

There are Exhaust Kits available that
allow you to direct filtered exhaust air
inside to conserve energy during the
winter months. Whirlpool has a Heat-
Humidity Saver Part No. 279427 which
can be used with Whirlpool dryers
providing their use does not violate
local codes. If you use one of these
kits, be aware that excessive moisture
in the home can cause many problems
and that you may see an increase in
the time required to dry a load. Also,
you must regularly clean the filter to
avoid excessive lint build-up which can
affect the dryer's performance.
