Exhaust Requirements
31
70458101 (EN)
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such
ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion
resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel
not less than 0.495 mm (0.0195 inches) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes. The
space around the duct may be sealed with noncombustible
material. Refer to
Figure 12
.
IMPORTANT: For best performance provide an
individual exhaust duct for each tumble dryer. Do
not install a hot water heater in a room containing
tumble dryers. It is better to have the water heater
in a separate room with a separate air inlet.
Alternate Venting for 120 Series Tumble Dryers
The 120 series tumble dryer is equipped from the
factory to exhaust from the top; however, it may be
converted to exhaust out the rear by doing the
following (refer to
Specifications and Dimensions
section):
1. Remove belt guard cover.
2. Remove 254 mm (10 inch) diameter elbow and
vertical duct.
3. Cut out shape from belt guard cover. Refer to
Figure 10
.
4. Screw octagonal piece over 254 mm (10 inch)
diameter opening in top of belt guard.
5. Attach new exhaust duct to exhaust thimble on
rear panel, following all requirements in this
section.
6. Replace belt guard cover.

WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork
causes excess back pressure which
results in slow drying, lint collecting in
the duct, lint blowing back into the room,
and increased fire hazard.
