Installation
Dryer Exhaust Requirements
A clothes
dryer produces
combustible
lint.
To reduce the risk of fire and combustion
gas accumulation
the dryer MUST be
exhausted
to the outdoors.
Wl16
This gas appliance
contains
or produces
a
chemical
or chemicals
which can cause
death or serious
illness and which
are
known to the State of California
to cause
cancer,
birth defects,
or other reproductive
harm. To reduce the risk from substances
in the fuel or from fuel combustion,
make
sure this appliance
is installed,
operated,
and maintained
according
to the
instructions
in this manual.
Wl15
To reduce the risk of fire and the
accumulation
of combustion
gases,
DO
NOT exhaust
dryer air into a window
well,
gas vent, chimney
or enclosed,
unventilated
area, such as an attic, wall,
ceiling,
crawl space under a building
or
concealed
space of a building.
W045
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use
plastic or thin foil ducting
to exhaust
the
dryer.
W354
Exhaust
System Materials
Exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter
having no obstructions.
Rigid metal duct is
recommended.
Non-combustible
flexible metal duct is
acceptable.
Do not use plastic pipe or thin foil ducting,
because it contributes
to poor drying performance
and
collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.
Never install flexible duct in concealed
spaces, such as
a wall or ceiling.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints
or other fastening
means which extend into the duct
that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency
of the
exhaust system. Secure all duct joints with duct tape.
Make-Up
Air Requirements
For proper operation
it is important
that you locate the
dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up
air to replace the amount exhausted
by the dryer.
A dryer exhausts
220 cfm (measured
at back of dryer).
Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration
rates
should be equipped
with an air exchanger
that can
accommodate
on demand make-up
air needs in the
home. These devices can be obtained through your
building contractor
or building
material
suppliers.
