Location Of Your Dryer - Haier HLF103Q Service Manual

After installation is completed, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4.The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than 0.75 inches of water column. If the system back pressure is less
than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches of water
column, the system is too restrictive and the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain extenuating circumstances could affect the
performance of the dryer:
1. Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
2. Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
3. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
4. Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the
dryer is used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
