EXHAUST SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Requirements and Instructions
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe
operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can create
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 not exhausted outdoors, 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, or use any screws or rivets
to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the
screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well
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 or other flammables are kept or
stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be minimum of 18
inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, fire or burns.
