Exhaust system requirements, continued

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fi ne lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fi re hazard.

The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

• 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 fi re hazard.
• Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct 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 metal foil duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with the flow of air.

WARNING

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.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Exhaust system requirements, continued

Install male fittings in correct direction:

CORRECT INCORRECT

In installations where the exhaust system is not described 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 rigid metal duct work should be used.
• Venting vertically 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.

Exhaust direction

Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through your local parts distributor or hardware store.
