covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers.
• Place the appliance 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 a fire. Punctured ductwork
may cause a 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.
• Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use
between the dryer and the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct
must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for the transition duct could
affect the drying time.
• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the
necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged
dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the
dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and
large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An
accumulation of lint in any area of the home may create a health and
fire hazard.
• Do not install near another heat source such as a stove, oven or
heater.
• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding
areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
• The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching
device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly
switched on and off by a utility.
