VENTING
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fi re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or fl exible metal vent shall be used
for exhausting.
■
Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
■
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
■
Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent:
(Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
■
Must be fully extended and supported in fi nal dryer location.
■
Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may
result in reduced airfl ow and poor performance.
■
Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or fl oors.
■
The total length should not exceed 7¾ ft. (2.4 m).
■
The length of fl exible metal vent used must be included
in the overall vent system design as shown in the Vent
System Charts.
NOTE:
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged
with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal
or fl exible metal vents. Review Vent System Charts and, if
necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
