I-_ EXHAUST INFORMATION
WARNING
-IN
CANADA AND IN THE
UNITED STATES,THE REQUIRED EXHAUST DUCT
DIAMETER IS 4 IN (102mm). DO NOT USE DUCT
LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST
LENGTH TABLE.
Using exhaustlonger than specifiedlengthwill:
increase the drying times and the energy cost.
Reducethe dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
Thecorrect exhaust installation is YOURRESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by
the warranty.
Removeand discard existing plastic or metal foil transition
duct and replacewith ULlistedtransition duct.
TheMAXIMUMALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bendsof the exhaust systemdependsupon the type of duct,
number of turns, the type of exhausthood (wallcap),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
• Terminatein a mannerto prevent back drafts or entry of birds
or other wildlife.
• Terminationshouldpresent minimal resistanceto the exhaust
air flow and should require little or no maintenanceto prevent
clogging.
•Never install a screenin or over the exhaust duct. Thiscould
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.
SEPARATION O FTURNS
Forbest performance,separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, includingdistance between last turn and exhaust
hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN900
• Oneturn of 450or less may be ignored.
• Two 450turns shouldbe treated as one 900turn.
• Eachturn over450 shouldbe treated as one 900turn.
SEALING OFJOINTS
•Alljoints should be tight to avoid leaks.Themale end of each
section of duct must point away from the dryer.
•Do not assemblethe ductwork with fasteners that extend into
the duct. Theywill serveas a collection point for lint.
•Ductjoints can be madeair and moisture-tight by wrapping
the overlappedjoints with duct tape.
•Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors
1/4 inch per foot.
INSULATION
Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioning should be insulatedto reducecondensationand
lint build-up.
