Exhaust requirements
Four Inch Metal Exhaust Duck IS
required. (Do not use 3 Inch
exhaust duct.) Metal flexible duct
may be used. Non-metallic
flexible duct is not recommended
For Safety:
l Do not exhaust dryer Into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct,
at%c or crawl space, or any
other duct used for venting
Accumulated llnl could
become a fire hazard or
moisture could cause damage
l The exhaust system should be
cleaned periodically, ot leost
everv 2 years.
I
l Flexible duct should never be
installed concealed in walls,
ceiling or floor. Use Duct Tape
to seal all joints.
Exhausting the
dryer outslde is
recommended If
you cannot exhaust
the dryer to the outsid
use Exhaust Deflect0
LCK45OO ovoilable fr

Exhausting the dryer through
the side is available with use
of Side Exhaust Kit LCK4600. Follow
the installation instructions with the
kit for orooerexhoust lnstalloiion
For Mbbiie Home Exhoust
Reauirements see Panel F.
Alternate Exhaust Methods, for
detailed instructions.
The Exhaust Duct should end
with an exhaust hood to prevent
exhausted air returning Into dryer
The outlet of the hood must be
at least 12 inches from the ground
or anyihlng else that may be In
the oath of the exhaust.
A 2iz Inch outlet Exhaust Hood
should be used with short systems
only. This outlet creates greater
backward pressure than other
hood tYpes.
Exhaust Hoods with magnetic
latches should not be used
The Maxlmum length of the
exhaust system depends upon the
type of duct used. number of
elbows and type of exhaust hood
The maximum length for both rlgid
and flexible duct is shown In chart

l Shorten the life of the dryer
l Reduce the performance, such
as cause longer dying times
and increase the use of energy
l Accumulate lint

within 4 feet of back of the
washer/dryer and enough
