FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe opera-
tion of your dryer.
44 WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic or metal foil venting
materials. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily
crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow
and increase the risk of fire.
If your present system is made up of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it «
with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also, ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct. Incorrect

Exhaust system requirements, continued
4 WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not
exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic,
a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A
clothes dryer produces combustibie lint. 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 must be connected to an exhaust outdoors.
Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and
remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor
exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
fy WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
« Do not allow combustible materials (for example:
clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT
be exhausted into a chimney, a wail, a ceiling,
or any concealed space of a building which can
accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
« Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system,
or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that
extend into the duct to assemble the exhaust
system. Lint can 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 metal foil duct
tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed
downstream with the flow of air.
4 WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows
allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” charts can cause
an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging
the system could create a fire hazard, as well as
increase drying times.

te
In installations where the exhaust system is not described
in previous pages, the following method must be used to
determine if the exhaust system is acceptabie:
1 Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the
dryer.
2 Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff and
start the dryer.
3 Read the measurement on the manometer.
4 The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher
than 0.75 inches of water column. If the
system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of
water column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of
water column, the system is too 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:
e Only rigid metal duct work should be used.
« Venting vertically through a roof may expose the
exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase
in vent restriction.
« Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated 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 18 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
The laundry center may be exhausted four (4) ways with
rear flush installation:
1. Straight back
2. Down (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter
[102 mm] rigid duct and 1 elbow down)
3. Left (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter [102
mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow left)
4. Right (8 inch [20.3 cm] length of 4 inch diameter
[102 mm] rigid duct, 1 elbow down and 1 elbow
right)
To exhaust up, add an 11 inch (28 cm) length of standard
4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a 90° elbow. The
unit will be positioned about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) away
from the wall (flush to wall exhausting may be done by
going below the dryer then sideways).
An exhaust hood positioned to line up with the dryer
exhaust can be installed directly through the outside wall.
To exhaust to the side or down, add an 8 inch (20.3 cm)
length of standard 4 inch (102 mm) diameter duct and a
90° elbow.
