Dryer Exhaust Requirements . . .

WARNING
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To
reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas
accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to
the outdoors.
This gas appliance contains or produces a
chemical or chemicals which can cause death
or serious illness and which are known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce
the risk from substances in the fuel or from
fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is
installed, operated, and maintained according
to the instructions in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire and the accumulation
of combustion gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer
air into a window well, gas vent, chimney or
enclosed, unventilated area, such as an attic,
wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or
concealed space of a building.
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic
pipe or flexible plastic pipe to exhaust the
dryer.
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a
wall or ceiling.

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the dryer.
Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter
having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible
metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or
flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor drying
performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire
hazard.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or
other fastening means which extend into the duct that
could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust
system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

Make-Up Air Requirements

A dryer exhausts 214 cfm (measured at back of dryer)
and sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace air
exhausted by each dryer.
An unobstructed opening of at least 40 square inches
(260 cm 2 ) of outdoor make-up air MUST be provided for
each dryer. Protective louvers in the opening to the
outdoors can reduce air movement approximately 35 to
40 percent. Be sure the opening is large enough to
compensate for any louvers.
If it is necessary to duct make-up air to the dryer, increase
the area of the ductwork by 25 percent to compensate for
any reduction in air movement. In addition, the make-up
air duct should extend down to within approximately two
feet from the floor, directly behind the dryer.
