WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
In Australia and New Zealand, refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 – Gas
Installations.
Following these venting requirements will minimise ducting
͜
air noise.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the
͜
backflow of gases into the room from appliances burning
other fuels, including open fires (i.e. available airflow into the
room should match airflow out from the room).
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
͜
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed
space of a building. Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be
used for exhausting.
Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
͜
102 mm (4") Heavy, Metal Exhaust Vent
Only a 102 mm (4") heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps
͜
may be used.
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
͜
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used
͜
for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
Forced ventilation of fresh air is required.
͜
Exhaust air must be exhausted to the outside to avoid
͜
suffocation.
If exhaust is connected to a commonly used exhaust
͜
system, it is required to install flap valves at each connection
or alternative adequate countermeasures.
Exhaust air must not be connected to an exhaust channel of
͜
a furnace.

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid
metal or flexible metal vents. Review "Vent System Chart" and
if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.

Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airflow and poor performance.
Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
The total length should not exceed 2.4 m (7¾ ft.).
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and
insects from entering the building.
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
Good
Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and
turns.
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or
making turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the centre of the bottom dryer back.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the
dryer, or straight out the back of the dryer.
Use clamps to seal all joints.
Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct
and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
