ExhaustInformation
WARNING: TOREDUCE THERISK OFFIRE
AND PERSONALINJURY
•Use only metal duct for exhausting dryer to outdoors.
•Do not terminate exhanst in a chimney, any gas vent,
under an enclosed floor (crawl space), or into an attic.
The accumulated lint could create a fire hazard.
•Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the
exhaust system, especially at turns. Inspect and clean
at least once per year.
•Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with
a kitchen exhaust. A combination of lint and grease
could create a fire hazard.
•Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

Exhaust Length
The MAXIMUM AIA_€)'v\LMH_Elength of the exhaust
system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns,
type of exhaust hood (wall cap) and all conditions noted
below. The maximum allowable length fin both rigid and
fexible metal duct is shown in the table below. More that
two 90 o turns are not recommended.

Hood or Wall Cap
• Terminate in a manner to prevent ba(k drafts or enu T
of birds or other wildlife.
Termii_ation should present mildmal resistan(e
to the exhaust airflow and should require little
or no maintenan(e to prevent (logging.
Never install s(reen over exhatlst (hi(l,
Wall caps must be installed at least 300 mm(12")
above ground level or any other obstruction with the
opening pointed down.
If root vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be
equivalent to a 100 mm (4") dampered wall cap in regard
to resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and
maintenance required to prevent clogging.
Separation of Turns
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 1.2 m
(4') of straight duct, including distance between last turn
and dampered wall cap.
Turns Other Than 90 °
• One turn of 45 ° or less may be ignored.
• Two 45° turns should be treated as()tie 90 °.
• Each turn over 45 ° should be treated as one 90 °.
Sealing of Joints
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end
of each section of duct must point mvay fiom the dtTer,
• Do not assemble the duct work with tasteners that
extend into the duct, They will serve as a collection
point lot lint.
• Duct joints can be made air- and moisture-tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.

Insulation
• I)uclwork which runs through an unheated area or is near an air-conditioning duct should be insulated to reduce
condensation and lint buildup.
