a health and fire hazard.
The dryer exhaust system
MUST be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling!
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.
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of
elbows allowed in the "
MAXIMUM LENGTH"
charts
can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard,
as well as increase drying times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system,
nor use any screws or rivets to assemble the exhaust
system. Lint can become caught in the screen, 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 duct tape. All male duct pipe
fittings
MUST
be installed downstream with the flow of
air.
Explosion hazard.
Do not install the
dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or
stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a
minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure
to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or burns.

NOT RECOMMENDED
INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN CORRECT DIRECTION
In installations where the exhaust system is not de-
scribed in the charts, the following method must be
used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between
the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to
the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool
down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure
MUST NOT
be higher
than 0.75 inches of water column. If the system
back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water
column, the system is acceptable. If the
manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of
water column, the system is too restrictive and the
installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is
acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could
affect the performance of the dryer:
Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
Venting vertical through a roof may expose the
exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase
in vent restriction.
Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation and
faster accumulation of lint.
Compression or crimping of the exhaust system
will cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned
a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage.
The more the dryer is used, the more often you should
check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper
operation.
