Dryer Exhaust Requirements
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a
wall or ceiling.
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the unit.
Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible
metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or
flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor drying
performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire
hazard.
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.
NOTE: Kits described above are optional exhaust
system materials available at extra cost.
Make-Up Air Requirements
A dryer exhausts 214 cfm (measured at back of dryer)
and sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace air
exhausted by dryer.
An unobstructed opening of at least 40 square inches
(260 cm
2
) of outdoor make-up air MUST be provided for
dryer. Protective louvers in the opening to the outdoors
can reduce air movement approximately 35 to 40 percent.
Be sure the opening is large enough to compensate for
any louvers.
If it is necessary to duct make-up air to the dryer, increase
the area of the ductwork by 25 percent to compensate for
any reduction in air movement. In addition, the make-up
air duct should extend down to within approximately two
feet from the floor, directly behind the dryer.
. . .
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To
reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas
accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to
the outdoors.
