WARNING
FIRE HAZARD

could result in serious injury, death, or
property damage.
• DO NOT install a booster fan in dryer
exhaust duct.
• Install all clothes dryers in accordance
with the installation instructions in this
manual.
Install male fittings in correct direction:
Correct
In installations where the exhaust system
is not described in the charts, the following
method must be used to determine if the
exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the dryer and the point the ex-
haust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air
fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system backpressure MUST NOT
be higher than 0.6 inches of water
column. If the system back pressure is
less than 0.6 inches of water col-
umn, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 0.6
inches of water column, the system is
too restrictive and the installation is
unacceptable.

Incorrect
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance of
the dryer:
• Only rigid metal duct work should be
used.
• Venting vertically through a roof may ex-
pose the exhaust system to down drafts
causing an increase in vent restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation
and faster accumulation of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust
system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
• The exhaust system should be inspected
and cleaned a minimum of every 18
months with normal usage. The more the
dryer is used, the more often you should
check the exhaust system and vent hood
for proper operation.
Exhaust direction
The laundry center may be exhausted four (4)
ways with rear flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch
diameter [102 mm] rigid duct and 1 elbow
down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch di-
ameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down
and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch di-
ameter [102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down
and 1 elbow right)
