EXHAUST INFORMATION
- WARNING
-IN CANADA AND INTHE
UNITED
STATES, THE REQUIRED
EXHAUST
DUCT DIAMETER
IS 4in
(102ram).
DO NOT USE
DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EX-
HAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY. P roblems due to incorrect installation
are not covered by the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil
transition duct and replace with UL listed transition duct.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of
duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall
cap), and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct
length for rigid metal duct is shown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of
birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to
the exhaust air flow and should require little or no
maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This
could cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level
or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
SEPARATIONOF TURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft.
of straight duct, including distance between last turn and
exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHERTHAN 90 °
• One turn of 45 o or less may be ignored.
• Two 450 turns should be treated as one 900 turn.
• Each turn over 450 should be treated as one 900 turn.
