EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.
Warning: DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling,
crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the
dryer with plastic or thin foil Ducting. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Weather Hood Type

4"
(10.2 cm)
Use Only for Short Run Installations
2-1/2"
(6.35 cm)
NOTE: Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. It is not recommended to use more than four 90° elbows.
Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:
1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer and
you should obtain the necessary venting materials
locally. For example, the outer end of exhaust pipe
must have a weather hood with hinged dampers to
prevent back-draft when the dryer is not in use.
2. Use only 4-in. (10 cm) rigid or fl exible metal
ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting
outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in fi re or death.
3. The exhaust duct must be 4 in. (10 cm) in diameter
with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept
as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts
before installing your new dryer. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fi re or death.
4. Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is recommended for
use between the dryer and the wall. In special
installations when it is impossible to make a
connection with the above recommendations, a UL-
listed fl exible metal transition duct may be used
between the dryer and wall connection only. The use
of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fi re or death.

instructions can result in fi re or death.
6. To maximize operating results, please observe the
duct length limitations noted in the chart above.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fi re
or death.
7. The Total length of flexible metal duct shall not
exceed 8 ft. (2.4m)
8. In Canada, that only those foil-type flexible ducts, if
any, specifically identified for use with the
appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In the
