Exhaust System
IMPORTANT: Keep exhaust duct as short as
possible.
NOTE: Be certain old ducts are cleaned before
installing your new dryer.
For best drying results, recommended maximum length
of exhaust system is shown below.
To prevent backdraft when dryer is not in operation, outer
end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with
hinged dampers (obtain locally).
NOTE: Weather hood should be installed at least 12
inches (30.5 cm) above the ground. Larger clearances
may be necessary for installations where heavy
snowfall can occur.
Exhaust Direction
The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the
back, left, right or bottom of the dryer.
EXCEPTION:
Gas dryers cannot be vented out the left side because
of the burner housing.
Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust;
no
kits required
.
Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be
accomplished by installing a DK1 Sales Accessory
(Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3) available as optional
equipment at extra cost.
