Exhausting - Samsung DV45H6300 Série Mode D'emploi

If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure:
• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
• That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
• To inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
• The duct is not dented or crushed.
• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
• The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0.
• This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct
connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter
clean.

Exhausting

The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a
building.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch
lint.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter.
• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m (7.8 ft.).

WARNING
• The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or
closet.
• NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.
Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of the exhaust air, heat,
and lint.
