turpentine, waxes, wax removers, vegetabJe oil, fish oi[, massage oi[, and cooking oil
Do not leave hot oi[-affected items in a pJJeor stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and
can create a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as a tumbJe dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction
in the oil This oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape the items can become hot
enough to catch fire.
Do not use heat to dry items containing rubber, foam rubber, pJastJcor similar materJaJs, (such
as padded bras, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, pJastJcbags, pJ[Jows etc), as these materials
might meJt or burn. Some rubber materiaJs when heated can under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion. Dry onJy on the AiR DRY cycJe.

Fire Hazard
The dryer must be vented to the outdoors.
Use rigid or thick wall flexiMe metal exhaust duct°
Do not use a plastic exhaust duct°
Do not use a meta_ foil exhaust duct°
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire°
The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. This w[[[ prevent the build up of lint and moisture
in the room in which it islocated and reducethe riskof fire.
This appliance must always be vented to the outdoors.
Exhaust ducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Plastic or metal foil flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying
times and affect dryer operation.
A minimum of 4 inch (100 mm) thick wail flexible metal or rigid galvanised metal duct must be
used. Using ducts larger than 4 inches (100 ram) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.
Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation. Thick wall flexible metal
ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the
duct and cause blockages. Do not use plastic ducting or thin wail flexible metal ducting.
Use duct tape to secure joints. Do not use screws as they collect [int.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct
lengths stated later in these installation instructions.
Do not exhaust the dryer into any other duct, chimney or gas vent, a wail, a ceiling or any
concealed space in a building. Do not exhaust the dryer under a house or mobile home or a
porch, or into a window well or other area that wi[[ accumulate [int.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a
swing out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wild
life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper. The
hood should have at least 12 inches (305 ram) clearance
between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other
obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never
install a screen over the exhaust outlet. 12" (305 mm)

Installation instructions
Exha u sting
To reduce condensation, insulate any ducting which passes through unheated areas. Slope the
duct gently downwards to the hood, to drain condensation and reduce lint build up. Avoid sag :[i
or loops in the duct as they may collect and store water and accumulate lint.
tefore using an existing exhaust duct system for a dryer ensure that:
No phstic or other potentially combustible duct or flexible metal foil ducting has been used.
= The duct is not pierced, kinked or crushed.
= The duct does not exceed the maximum recommended length for the new dryer.
= The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely and with suffident movement.
= Static pressure in the exhaust ducting does not exceed 1 inch (250Pa), or is not less than 0
inches of water column (ie. negative pressure), when measured with a manometer in the first 6
inches of the duct, with the dryer running on Air Dry (no heat)setting.
The exhaust duct system meets all relevant local, state and national codes.
All ducting should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to remove accumulated lint.
Frequently check that the damper on the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and
shuts freely.

Choose a route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan the
installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
When using elbows (rigid duct) or making turns (thick wall flexible metal duct), allow as much
room as possible.With thick wall flexible metal duct bend duct gradually to avoid kinking and
avoid 90°turns.
Fig. 12 Duct configurations
Maximum length of exhaust duct
The maximum length of the exhaust duct system depends upon:
The type of ducts (rigid or thick walled flexible metal).
The number of elbows or bends used.
1 Refer to the exhaust duct length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum duct
lengths you can use. Do not use duct runs longer than specified in the exhaust duct length
charts (refer to page 15).
Exhaust duct systems longer than specified will:
Accumulate lint creating a potential fire hazard.
Shorten the life of the dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and an increased energy usage.
