EXHAUST INFORMATION (cont)
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry
of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to
the exhaust air ow and should require little or no
maintenance to prevent clogging.
•Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
could cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground
level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed
down.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft.
of straight duct, including distance between last turn and
exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90º
• One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.
• Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.
• Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of
each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection
point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors
½ inch per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is
near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce
condensation and lint build-up.
3 EXHAUST INFORMATION

THE UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED EX-
HAUST DUCT DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102mm). DO
NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN
THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specied length will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential re hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY. Problems due to incorrect
installation are not covered by the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil
transition duct and replace with UL listed transition
duct.

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT
• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is
recommended.
• Rigid metal transitions ducts reduce the risk of crushing and
kinking.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION DUCT
• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed exible metal
(semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).
• Never install exible metal duct in walls, ceilings, oors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of exible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4m).
• For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and
the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations). Elbows
allow the appliance to sit close to the wall without kinking
and or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying
performance.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT
• In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the
dryer to the house vent using a exible metal (foil-type) duct.
A UL-listed exible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY
in installations where rigid metal or exible metal (semi-rigid)
ducting cannot be used AND where a 4” diameter can be
maintained throughout the entire length of the transition
duct.
• In Canada and the United States, only the exible metal(foil-
type) ducts that comply with the “Outline for Clothes Dryer
Transition Duct Subject 2158A” shall be used.
• Never install exible metal duct in walls, ceilings, oors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of exible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• For best drying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to
its full length. Allow 2” of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe.
