WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, the exhaust duct and
weather hood MUST be fabricated of a material that
will not support combustion. Rigid or flexible metal
pipe is recommended for a clothes dryer.
W048
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased static
pressure, we do not recommend installation of in-
line secondary lint filters or lint collectors. If secon-
dary systems are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
W749
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint collectors
will cause increased static pressure. Failure to main-
tain the secondary lint system will decrease dryer effi-
ciency and will void machine warranty.

• DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or type B ducting. Rigid metal
duct is recommended.
• Locate dryer so exhaust duct is as short as possible.
• Be certain old exhaust ducts are cleaned before installing your
new dryer.
• Use 4 inch [102 mm] diameter rigid or flexible metal duct.
• The male end of each section of duct must point away from
the dryer.
• Use as few elbows as possible.
• Use of duct tape or pop-rivets on all seams and joints is rec-
ommended, if allowed by local codes. DO NOT use sheet
metal screws or fasteners on exhaust pipe joints which extend
into the duct and catch lint.
• Ductwork that runs through unheated areas must be insulated
to help reduce condensation and lint build-up on pipe walls.
• Install backdraft dampers in multi-dryer installations.
