Installing your dryer
•
Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before
cleaning.
•
Check frequently to make sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
•
Check once per month, and clean at least once per year. Note: If your clothes are not getting dry, then
check the ducting for obstructions.
•
Do not exhaust the dryer into a wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or
any other common duct or chimney. This could create a fi re hazard from the lint expelled by the dryer.

* Do not use non-metallic fl exible ducts.
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 fl exible 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
fi lter clean.
