EXHA UST 5 Y$TEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10,2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct
and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open
when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers
automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance ol insects and
rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches
(30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other
obstruction,
The following are specific requirements for proper
and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow these
instructions can create excessive drying times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer
Excessive lint can build up inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard
and restrict air flow. Restricted air flow will increase dryer times. If your
present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it
with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of
any tint prior to installing dryer duct.
if the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine
lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in
any area of the home can create a heakh and fire hazard. The dryer
exhaust system MUST be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling!
Do not aflow combustible materials (for example:
dothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust
system. The dryer MUST NOT bo exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a
ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which car/ accumulate lint,
resulting in a fire hazard.
Exceeding the length of du_ pipe or number of
elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts car/ cause an
accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Pluggh'/g the system :ould
create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system,
nor use any screws or Hvets to assemble the exhaust system. Lint
car/ become caught in the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the
duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying times.
Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all
joints with duct tape All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed
downstream with the flow of air,
_r__ Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer where
gasofine or other flammables are kept or stored, If the dryer is
installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above
the floor. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns,

restrictive and the installation is unacceptable,
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain
extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust system
to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
Running the exhaust system through an u/finsulated 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 I8 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
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
Howevel, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left side of
the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers, exhausting can be

EVACUATION DE L'A_R
Utiliser uniquement une conduite en metal rigide ou flexible de
10,2 cm (4 po) de diametre (minimum) ainsi qu'une grille de
sortie approuvee pourvue de clapets qui s'ouvrent Iorsque la
secheuse fonctionne. Quand la secheuse s'arr6te, los clapets se
ferment automatiq uement pour eviter loscou rants d'air et I'entr6e
d'insectes ou de rongeurs. Afin de ne pas obstruer I'evacuation
de Fair, laisser une distance minimum de 30,5 cm (12 po) entrela grille de sortie et le sol ou tout autre obstacle.
Le_ mises en garde qui suivent _e
rapportent directement au fonctionnement correct et
secufitaire de la secheuse. Toute derogation _ce_ mises
en garde pourrait ralentir le sechage et entra_ner des
risques d'incendie.
_Ne pas utiliser de conduites en plastique flexible pour evacuer
Fair de la secheuse. Une quantite excessive de charpie pourrait
s'accumuler dans la conduite d'evacuation, ce qui r_duirait la
circulation de I'air et presenterait un risque d'incendie. Toute
obstruction de la circulation de Fair ralentit le sechage. Si la
conduite existante est en plastique ou en papier m_tallique, la
par une conduite en metal rigide ou flexible. S'assurer
qu'i/ n'y apas de charpie clans la conduite exi_tante avant
d'in_taHer la conduite de/a secheuse.
PI_Si I'air n'etait pas repousse ,_!'exterieur de la maison de
petites particules de charpie se retrouveraient darts la piece oO
est installee la secheuse. Toute accumulation de charpie dans la
maison peut presenter des risques pour la santo et des risques
d'incendie. La conduite d'evacuation de la secheuse
DOIVENT se terminer a I'exterieur de/a maison!
Ne laisser aucun materiau inflammable (comme des
v_tements destentures, desrideauxou du papier) entreren
contact avec los conduits d'evacuation. L'air de la s_cheuse NE
DOITPA5 _tre evacue darts une cheminee, un mur_ un plafond
ni tout espace ferm_ d'un batiment oO la charpie pourrait
s'accumuler et presenter un risque d'incendie.
_l_menter la Iongueur du conduit rigide ou le hombre de
coudes permis au tableau _LONGUEUR MAXIMUMs> risque de
reduire la capacite d'evacuation du circuit. Obturer le circuit pout
creer un risque d'incendie et augmenter le temps de sechage.
_Ne pas poser de grillage sur !'ouverture exterieure des
conduites d'evacuation d'air ni utiliser des vis ou des rivets pour
assembler la conduite d'evacuation. De la charpie pourrait
s'emprisonner darts le grillage ou sur los vis ou les rivets et ainsi
engorger la conduite d'evacuation en plus de presenter un risque
d'incendie et de ralentir le sechage. Utiliser une grille de sortie
approuvee pour fermer I'ouverture ext_rieure et sceller tous los
joints _ !'aide d'un ruban adh_sif pour conduites. L'extremite mgle
de chaque composante de la conduite DO/TCtre installee en aval
par rapport _ la circulation de Fair.
Risques d'exptosion. Ne pas installer la
secheuse _ un endroit oO I'on garde de la gazoline ou tout autre
produit inflammable. Si la secheuse est installee dans un garage,
e!le dolt Ctre a un minimum de 45,7 cm (18 po) au-dessus du
plancher. Toute derogation pourrait provoquer lamort, I'explosion,
I'encendie ou los brOlures.

NON RECOMMAND_
POSERLESRACCORDS MALES DANS LA BONNE DIRECTION
Pour les installations dont le circuit d'evacuation n'est pas decrit
darts les tableaux, il faut utiliser la m6thode suivante si le circuit
d'evacuation n'est pas acceptable:
1. Brancher un manometre digital ou a tube incline entre la
secheuse et le raccord d'evacuation de la secheuse.
2. Regler la minuterie de la secheuse et la temperature a air froid
(refroidissement) et demarrez la secheuse.
3. Lire la mesure indiquee au manometre.
4. La basse pression ne dolt pas 6tre superieure a 0,75 pouce de
colonne d'eau. Si la basse pression est inferieure a0,75 pouce
decolonned'eau, lecircuitestacceptable. Si la lecture
indique une pression superieure a 0,75 pouce de co!onne
d'eau, la capacit6 du circuit est insuffisante et I'installation
inacceptable.
Bien qu'un circuit vertical soit acceptable, certaines circonstances
att6nuantes peuvent influencer la performance de la secheuse.
IIfaut utiliser uniquement des conduits rigides en metal.
Une sortie sur un toit d'un circuit vertical peut exposer celui-
ci _]un contre-tirage et ainsi reduire sa capacit6 d'_vacuation,
L'isolant que dolt traverser un tel circuit peut causer de la
condensation et ainsi reduire la capacite d'evacuation du
circuit,
Un circuit d'6vacuation comprim6 ou ondulant peut voir sa
capacit_ d'_vacuation r6duite.
IIfaut inspecter le circuit d'evacuation et le nettoyer au moins
tousles t8 mois d'utilisation normale. Plus la secheuse est
utilis6e, plus il faut proceder souvent a une v6rification du bon
fonctionnement du circuit d'6vacuation et du couvercle du
registre ou de 1'6vent.
DIRECTION DE L'EVA CUATtON D'AIR
Toutes les s6cheuses empaquet6es par I'usine sont concues de fa_on
ace que I'evacuation d'air se fasse a I'arriere, Toutefois, dans Jecas des
secheuses 61ectriques, 1'6vacuation d'air peut se faire sur la droite ou
sur Ja gauche du bottier ou encore, sous la s6cheuse, Dans le cas des
s6cheuses a gaz, J'6vacuation d'air peut se faire sur la droite du bottier
ou sous la secheuse, On peut donc modifier I'orientation de
J'6vacuation d'air en instalJant un ensemble d'6vacuation d'air n° de
piece 131456800 disponible chez d'un fournisseur de pi6ces agr6e,
Suivre les directives qui accornpagnent cet ensemble,
