Exhaust System Connections
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 dryer times. 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. If the dryer is on exhausted out doors, 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. To reduce risk of fire, dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED
OUTDOORS.
3. Do not allow combustible material (for example: clothing, draperies/curtains,
paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer must not be
exhausted into a chimney,a wall,a ceiling,or any concealed space of a
building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
4. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the
”Maximum Length” charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system, Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase
drying times.
5. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, nor use any screws of
rivets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen,
as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct
outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings must
be installed downstream with the flow of air.
Explosion hazard:
Do not install the dryer where gasoline of other flammable are kept or
stored.
If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be minimum of 18 inches
(45.7cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
fire of burns.
WARNING
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.
