The following are specific requirements for proper and safe
operation of your dryer.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in
serious injury, death, or property damage.
• DO NOT
install a booster fan in dryer exhaust duct.
• Install all clothes dryers in accordance with the installation
instructions in this manual.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
•
A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors.
• DO NOT
exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an
attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building.
•
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the
laundry area.
An accumulation of lint in any area of the home
can create a health and fire hazard.
•
The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors.
• Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any
accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in
the surrounding area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• DO NOT
allow combustible materials (for example: clothing,
draperies/curtains, paper) to come in contact with exhaust
system. The dryer MUST NOT be exhausted into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a building which can
accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
• DO NOT
screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any
screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct to
assemble the exhaust system.
No screen,
grate, or guard of any mesh size is allowed
to cover the exhaust opening. Lint can
become caught in the screen, grate, guard,
or on the screws or rivets, clogging the
duct work and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing
drying times
. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct
outdoors, and seal all joints with metal foil tape. All male duct
pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.
