7. Dryer Airflow Measurement
Static Pressure
Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no greater than
that shown in the chart below. (Check with dryer running and no
load.)
NOTE: This can be measured with a manometer placed on the
exhaust duct approximately two feet (61 cm) from the dryer, see
illustration below.

8. Exhaust System Maintenance
The dryer interior and the complete exhaust system should be cleaned
periodically by a qualified service person to remove any lint build up.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the
electrical service to the dryer before cleaning.
Inspect duct work regularly for lint accumulation. Best places to check
are at elbows and at the bottom of long vertical runs.
The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the
dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has
been set against them.
