EXHAUSTING THE DRYER
-A WARNING - To reduce the
risk of fire or personal
injury:
• This dryer must be exhausted
to the outdoors.
• Use only metal duct.
• Do not terminate
exhaust into a chimney, any
gas vent, under an enclosed floor, in a crawl
space, wall, ceiling, into an attic or other
concealed space of a building. The accumulated
lint could create a fire hazard.
• Provide an access for inspection
and cleaning
of the exhaust system, especially
at turns.
Inspect and clean at least once a gear.
• Never terminate
the exhaust into a common
duct with a kitchen exhaust. A combination
of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.
• Do not obstruct
incoming
or exhausted
air.
• This drger comes ready for rear exhausting.
If space is limited, use the instructions
on pages 28-31 to exhaust directly
from the sides or bottom
of the cabinet.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS YOU WILL
NEED TO INSTALL EXHAUST DUCT
[] Phillips-head screwdriver
[] Duct tape or duct clamp
[] Drill with 1/8" drill bit
(for bottom venting)
[]Hacksaw
[] Rigid or UL-listed flexible
metal 4" (10.2 cm) duct
[]Venth00d
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
• Terminate
in a manner to prevent back drafts or
entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination
should present minimal resistance to
the exhaust airflow and should require little or no
maintenance
to prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above
ground level or any other obstruction
with the
opening pointed down.
• If roof vents or Iouvered plenums are used, they
must be equivalent
to a 4" dampened
wall cap in
regard to resistance to airflow, prevention
of back
drafts and maintenance
required to prevent
clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
• For best performance,
separate all turns by
at least/4 ft. of straight
duct, including distance
between last turn and dampened
wall cap.
For turns less than/4 ft. apart, see the Ducting
Component
Equivalency
Chart.
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male
end of each section of duct must point away
from the dryer.
• Do not assemble
the ductwork
with fasteners
that extend into the duct. They will serve as
a collection
point for lint.
• Duct joints should be made air- and
moisture-tight
by wrapping
the overlapped
joints with duct tape or aluminum
tape.
• Horizontal
runs should slope down towards
outdoors
1//4" per foot.
INSULATION
• Ductwork
that runs through
an unheated
area
or is near air conditioning
should be insulated
to reduce condensation
and lint buildup.
