EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the dryer.
Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is
acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting,
because it contributes to poor drying performance and
collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a
wall or ceiling.
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.
Exhaust System
IMPORTANT : Keep exhaust duct as short as
possble.
NOTE : Be certain old ducts are cleaned before
installing your new dryer.
For best drying results, recommended maximum length
of exhaust system is shown in Table 1.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation,
outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with
hinged dampers (obtain locally).
