Exhaust system requirements
Duct work requirements
If your present system is made up of
plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it
with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. Also,
ensure the present duct is free of any lint
prior to installing dryer duct.
Í
NOTE
For installations requiring a longer
drain hose, have a qualified technician
install a longer drain hose (according to
your model number) available from an
authorized parts distributor. For drain
systems in the floor, install a siphon
break kit available from your local
hardware store.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
DO NOT install a clothes dryer with
flexible plastic or metal foil venting
materials. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed
and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct clothes dryer airflow and
increase the risk of fire.
Use only 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid
or flexible metal duct and approved vent
hood which has a swing-out damper(s)
that open when the dryer is in operation.
When the dryer stops, the dampers
automatically close to prevent drafts and
the entrance of insects and rodents. To
avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a
minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground
or any other obstruction.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can create
excessive drying times and fire hazards.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer.
