EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Useonly 4inch (10.16cm) diameter(minimum) rigidor flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s)that openswhen thedryer isin operation.When the
dryerstops, thedamper(s)automatically closestoprevent drafts
andthe entranceof insectsand rodents. To avoidrestrictingthe
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (38.5 cm) clearance
betweentheventhood andthegroundoranyotherobstruction.
The following are specific requirements
for proper and safe operation of your laundry center.
Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards.
Do not use plastic flexible duct or metal foil
toexhaustthedryer.Excessive lintcanbuildupinsidetheexhaust
system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted
air flow will increase drying times. If your present system is
madeup ofplastic ductor metalfoil duct,replace it with a rigid
or flexiblemetal duct. Ensure the present duct is free of any
lint prior to installing the laundry center 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
health and fire hazard. The dryer exhaust system MUST
be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling!

Do not allow combustible materials (for
example:clothing,draperies/curtains, paper)to comeincontact
with the exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted
into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a
building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
Do not exceed the length of duct pipe or
numberofelbows allowedinthe” EXHAUST DUCT LENGTHS”
chart. Lint can accumulate in the system, plugging the system
and creating a fire hazard, as well as increasing drying times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust
system. Lintcan becomecaught inthe screen,on thescrews or
rivets, clogging the exhaust system 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 maleduct pipe fittingsMUST be installeddownstream
with the flow of air.
Explosion hazard.
Do not install the laundry center where
gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored.If the laundry
center 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.
Theexhaust systemback pressureMUST not exceed0.6 inches
(1.52 cm) of water column measured with an inclined
manometer at the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
Theexhaustsystemshouldbe inspectedandcleaneda minimum
of every two years with normal usage. The more the dryer is
used,the moreoften youshould checkthe exhaustsystem and
venthood forproper operation.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon the
