SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Place the dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.
•
Do not use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce
the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.
•
Use only rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal 4-inch diameter duct inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to
the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork may cause fire. Punctured ductwork may cause
fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
•
The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be
kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.
