Exhausting requirements
The dryer must 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.
In the United States and Canada
• All dryers must be exhausted to the
outside.
• The required exhaust duct is 4 inches
(10.2 cm) in diameter.
• See "Ducting requirements" in the
"Installation" section for the maximum
duct length and number of bends that
can be used.
• The total length of the flexible metal
duct must not exceed 7' 10
• Do not assemble the duct with screws
or other fastener means that extend
into the duct and catch lint.
• For the United States only: Use only
those foil-type flexible ducts, if any,
specifically identified for use with the
appliance by the manufacturer and that
comply with the Outline for Clothes
Dryer Transition Duct. Use Subject
2158A.

• Refer to the local codes.
WARNING
• You must exhaust the dryer to the
outside to reduce the risk of fire when
you install the dryer in an alcove or
closet.
• Do not 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 exhaust air, heat, and lint.
