Installation Requirements
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT allow combustible materi-
als (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 use any screws,
rivets or other fasteners that extend
into the duct to assemble the exhaust
system. No screen, grate, or guard
of any mesh size is
allowed to cover
the exhaust opening.
Lint can become caught
in the screen, grate, guard, or 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 termi-
nate the duct outdoors, and seal all
joints with metal foil tape. All male
duct pipe fittings MUST be installed
downstream with the flow of air.
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.
