Exhaust
requirements
Fire/Health Hazard
l
Do Not use non-metal, flexible duct.
9 Do Not use metal duct smaller than
four inches in diameter.
. Do Not use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
9 Check that exhaust system is not
longer than specified. Exhaust systems
longer than specified will:
- Accumulate
lint.
- Shorten the life of the dryer.
- Reduce performance,
resulting in
longer drying times and increased
energy usage.
Failure to follow specifications
may
result in a fire.
. Do Not exhaust dryer into a chimney,
furnace cold air duct, attic or crawl
space, or any other duct used for
venting.
9 Clean the exhaust system every other
year.
l
Do Not install flexible duct in enclosed
walls, ceilings or floors.
Accumulated
lint could result in a fire or
cause moisture damage.
. Exhausting your dryer indoors is Not
recommended.
The moisture and lint
indoors may cause:
- FIRE HAZARD from lint collected
in
dryer;
- Moisture damage to woodwork,
furniture, paint, wallpaper, carpet,
etc.
- Housecleaning
problems and
possible health problems.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in fire damage or personal injury.
