10-Cycle Electric and Gas Dryers
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Exhausting requirements
• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the
duct or that catch lint.
• The exhaust duct should be 4 in. (10.2 cm) in diameter.
• The total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7.8 ft. (2.4 m).
• Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use
with your dryer by the manufacturer.
• In the U.S., make sure that the ducts comply with the outline for Clothes
Dryer Transition Ducts, Subject 2158A.
See Duct requirements on page 16 for the maximum duct length and number of
bends.
WARNING:
Do not exhaust your dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl
space, or a concealed space in a building.
Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when
installed in an alcove or closet.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside prevents large amounts of lint and
moisture from being blown into the room.
WARNING:
NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT
• If your existing duct work is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with
metal.
• Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment
of the exhaust air heat and lint.
