VENTING
THE DRYER (cont.)
Using
the Selecting
and
Verifying
Duct
Length
Chart (page 13)
1. Select the type of wall cap.
2. Select row that matches the number of elbows required
in the dryer duct run.
3. Select the duct type. The length shown in the chart at
this point is the maximum allowable duct length for your
installation. Longer duct length will result in reduced
drying performance, longer dry times and increased
energy consumption.
DO NOT exceed maximum length for the duct type and
Routing
and Connecting
Ductwork
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying
performance and reduce lint buildup and condensation
in the ductwork.
NOTE: Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must
be purchased separately.
• Use 4-in. (10-cm) diameter rigid or semirigid metal
ductwork.
• The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas
in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup
on duct surfaces.
WARNING:
Failure to follow these
guidelines will result in poor performance, product
failure, and/or result in fire or death.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to exhaust the dryer per the
guidelines included within these instructions may result
in unsatisfactory dryer performance. All venting and
ductwork beyond the exterior of the dryer is the
responsibility of the consumer. Product failure as
a result of improper venting is not covered by the
manufacturer's
warranty.
Connecting
the Dryer Vent
1. Verify all ducts and elbows are clean and free from any
blockages.
2. Measure duct length. DO NOT exceed the maximum
length listed in the chart on page 13.
3. Connect dryer exhaust to existing ductwork.
• Use duct tape or clamps only.
• DO NOT use screws to secure ductwork.
• Use rigid or semirigid metal duct.
• DO NOT use plastic or thin metal foil tubing
for ductwork.
• The male end of each elbow must always point
in the direction of the airflow.
