_WARNING- IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED
STATES, THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT DIAMETER
IS 4 IN (102ram). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER
THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
l_ sing exhaust longer than specified length wilh
* Increase the chying times and the energ F cost.
* Reduce the cho_er life.
* Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY,
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered
by the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition
duct and replace with I_L listed transition duct.
The MAXIMI_ M ALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct,
number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all
conditions noted below. The maximum duct length for rigid
metal duct is shown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LiST
HOOD OR WALL (AP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or
other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow
and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.This could canse lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level or any other
obstruction with the opening pointed down.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best perfermance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct,
including distance between last ttlrn and exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90 °
* Oile ttlrn of 45 ° or less may be ignored.
, Two 45 ° tt/rns shouht be treated as one 90° tt/rn.
, Each tt/rn over 45 ° shouhl be treated as one 90 ° tt/rn.
SEALING OF JOINTS
* _Mljoints should be tight te avoid leaks. The male end of each section of
duct must point away flom the dryer.
* Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct.
They will serve as a collection point fer lint.
Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the
overlapped joints with dt_ct rope.
Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors _½inch per feot
iNSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning
shouhl be insulated to reduce condensation and lint buihl-t_p.
