FIREHAZARD.....
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not
exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wail, a ceiling, an attic,
a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A
clothes dryer produces combustible 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.
ii
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.
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 wall, 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
ii use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend
ii 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 weii as increasing drying times. Use an approved
vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal
ii aii joints with metal foil duct tape. Aii male duct pipe
ii fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow
of air.
RNING ..............................................................................................................................................................
FIREHAZARD.....
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

...............EXPLSS SN ....
Do not instafl the dryer where gasoline 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,
INCORRECT
In installations where the exhaust system has not described
in the previous pages, the following method must be used
to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
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 (cool
down) 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, the performance of this dryer could be
adversely affected by the following conditions:
* The use of non-rigid metal duct work.
* 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.
* Accelerated accumulation of lint buildup in dryer
exhaust system, 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.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1 Installation MUST conform to current Manufactured
Home Construction & Safety Standard, Title 24
CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly the Federal Standard for
