Service check:
The back pressure in any
exhaust
system used must not exceed
0.8 cm (0.3 in) of water column
measured
with an inclined
manometer
at the point
that the exhaust
duct connects
to the dryer.
Exhausting the dryer outslde
is
recommended.
A closet installation
must
be
exhausted
outside.
Recessed
installation
that
is not exhausted
outside must use Exhaust
Deflector
Kit Part No. 694609, available
from
your authorized
parts distributor.
See
"Recessed
and closet installation
instructions,"
Panel E. for unobstructed
air
opening
requirements.
If the washer/dryer
Is Installed In a conflned
area such as a bedroom, bathroom or
closet,
it must be exhausted
to the outside
and provision
must be made
for enough

An
exhaust
hood should cap
the exhaust
duct to prevent
exhausted
air from returning
into dryer. The outlet of the
30.5
cm
hood must be at least
30.5 cm (12 in) from the
ground
or any object
that
may be in the path of the
exhaust.

minimum
10.2 cm (4 In) outlet hood Is preferred.
However,
a 6.4 cm (2-l /2 in) outlet may be
used with short systems only. A 6.4 cm
(2-l/2
in) outlet can result in longer drying
times than other hood types.
For permanent
Installation, a stationary exhaust system Is
required.
Exhaustlng the dryer
through the side
of the

Metal rlexlble duct
must be fully extended
and supported
when the dryer is in its final

DO NOT KINK OR CRUSH THE DUCT.
The metal flexible duct must be completely
open to allow adequate exhaust alr to flow.
Allow as much room as possible
when using
elbows
or making
turns. Bend duct gradually
to avoid
kinking. Remove
excess flexible
duct to avoid
sagging

Maxlmum length
of the exhaust
system
depends
upon the type of duct used,
number
of elbows
and the type of exhaust
hood.
The maximum
length
for both rigid

Moblle home exhaust requirements:
The
washer/dryer
must
have an outside exhaust.
If the dryer is exhausted
through
the floor
and the area under the mobile
home is
enclosed,
the exhaust
system
must
terminate
outside the enclosed
area. Extension

the enclosure
will prevent
lint and
moisture
buildup
under the mobile
home.
