Exhausting Requirements - Samsung DVE50R8500 Manual Del Usuario

Exhausting requirements

The dryer must not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space,
or a concealed space of a building. Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large
amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room.
In the United States and Canada
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• The required exhaust duct is 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter.
• See "Ducting requirements" in the "Installation" section for the maximum duct length
and number of bends that can be used.
• The total length of flexible metal duct must not exceed 7' 10 1/2" (2.4 m).
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the duct and
catch lint.
• For the United States only: Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically
identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the
Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct. Use Subject 2158A.
Outside the United States and Canada
• Refer to the local codes.
WARNING
• You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when you install
the dryer in an alcove or closet.
• Do not use a plastic or non-metal flexible duct.
• If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.
• Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of exhaust
air, heat, and lint.
