EXHAUSTING

The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed

Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.
See "Ducting requirements" in installing your dryer section for the maximum duct length
and number of bends.
• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
• The duct must not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend into the
duct and catch lint.
• The required exhaust duct is 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter.
• The total length of fl exible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m (7.8 ft.).

Subject 2158A, shall be used.
In Canada:
