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. The exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 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.
3. Rigid metal duct is recommended.
Do not install
flexible
duct in concealed
spaces.
Non-combustible
flexible metal duct is
acceptable.
Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting.
4. 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.
5. To maximize
operating
results, please observe the
duct length limitations
noted in the chart above.
