EXHAUST INFORMATION
WARNING
- IN CANADA AND IN
THE UNITED STATES, THE REQUIRED
EXHAUST
DUCT
DIAMETER
IS 4 IN (102ram).
DO NOT
USE DUCT LONGER THAN
SPECIFIED
IN THE
EXHAUST 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 YOURRESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by
the warranty.
Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition
duct and replace with ULlisted 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 following table.

, For every additional 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent
system length by 10 ft.
, Two 45° elbows will be treated likeone 90° elbow. Forthe side
exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the chart.
, The total vent system length includes all the straight portions
and elbows of the system (transition duct included).
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 fiow 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 45 o turns should be treated as one 90 o turn.
* Each turn over 45 o should be treated as one 90o turn.
SEALING OFJOINTS
. All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of
each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
* Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend
into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
, Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight
by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
, Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors
1/4 inch per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation
and lint build-up.
