Dryer Airflow
Efficient dryer operation requires proper dryer airflow.
Proper dryer airflow can be evaluated by measuring the
static pressure.
Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no
greater than 0.6 inchs (1.5 cm). (Check with dryer
running and no load.)
NOTE : This can be measured with a manometer
placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (61
cm) from the dryer.
The dryer interior and the complete exhaust system
should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if
necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to
two years as required thereafter. The weather hood
should be checked frequently to make sure the dampers
move freely, they are not pushed in and that nothing has
been set against them. This maintenance work should be
done by a qualified service person.
Exhausting the dryer in hard-to reach locations can be
accomplished by installing the Flexible Metal Vent Kit,
available as optional equipment at extra cost. The kit
comes in two halves that can be separately attached to
the dryer and wall outlet. Once attached, the dryer can be
slid back into position and the two halves can be
connected from the front.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disconnect the electrical power to the
dryer before cleaning.
