Exhausting the dryer
Refer to page 7 for tools required.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
The dryer must be vented to the outdoors.
Use rigid or thick wall flexible metal exhaust duct only.
Do not use a plastic exhaust duct.
Do not use a metal foil exhaust duct.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
■ ■
This dryer must be vented to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and moisture in
the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.
■ ■
Use only 4” (102 mm) rigid metal ducting material for the home exhaust duct.
■ ■
Use only 4” (102 mm) rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct material
to connect the appliance to the home exhaust duct. The ducting must be installed according to
the instructions found in the section “Connecting the dryer to the house vent” (page 29).
■ ■
The dryer must not under any circumstances be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, gas
vent, crawl space, attic, under an enclosed floor, or into any concealed space of a building.
■ ■
Never vent the dryer into a common duct with an exhaust system originating from a kitchen. The
combination of grease and lint creates a potential fire hazard.
■ ■
Ducting must be kept as short in length and as straight as possible. Ducts can accumulate lint
and create a potential fire hazard. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct lengths stated later
in these installation instructions (page 33).
■ ■
Never install a screen in or over the dryers exhaust duct. The screen will cause lint to accumulate,
creating a potential fire hazard.
■ ■
Use duct tape to secure joints in the ducting. Do not use screws as these will extend into the
duct system, accumulate lint and create a potential fire hazard.
■ ■
Never obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
■ ■
Ensure access is provided for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust. This is particularly
important at turns and joints. The exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned annually.
■ ■
The dryer is set up for rear exhausting. If space available for installation is limited, the dryer can
be vented directly from the sides or bottom of the cabinet. Refer to pages 35 to 38.
